## Overview

Defenders Slugs Away Barrier Tape is a 4-meter long, weather-proof copper adhesive tape designed to protect plants from slugs and snails by generating a natural, harmless electrical charge. Easy to cut and apply, it offers a chemical-free, humane solution ideal for organic gardening, safeguarding pots, raised beds, and greenhouse frames throughout all seasons.

## Description

Slugs Away barrier tape from Defenders is a simple and effective way of protecting plant pots, greenhouse stagings, raised beds and cold frames without using poison or chemical controls. When slugs and snails contact the tape a reaction between the mucous and copper produces a tiny electrical charge which discourages crossing.

Review: great stuff... - Bought this item a few weeks ago and got to work wrapping a raised veg planter with it. I put two layers of tape, one above the other with no gap in between as I've read on the web that the little slimy bu**ers can actually arch their bodies over a thin strip of copper. Hopefully now the amount of arching required will be too big even for the biggest slugs. Must say that so far the tape is doing the trick, no attacks from slugs or snails and I've got hundreds of the them in my garden. The tape is super sticky so grips really well and is a doddle to put on. It even seems to repel ants, which are another headache for me. Only thing I would suggest really would be wider tape so that no doubling up would be required, but I guess it's easy enough to do yourself. Very happy with it, would definitely buy more if needed. It clean, green and no nasty horrible chemicals around my veg :)
Review: The tape itself is easy to apply and self adhesive but beware the risk ... - Reduces slug damage if applied on planting up a container. Must make sure no slugs or snails are already in container, and that none can find their way in via neighbouring foliage acting as a "bridge" over the tape. The tape itself is easy to apply and self adhesive but beware the risk of a paper type cut as the edges are sharp if they catch your skin in the wrong way. Once smoothed down, this is no issue. Best applied not tooo close to top of pot/rim as larger slugs/snails will just arch the way over it and drop into pot. Instead put 5cm or so below rim. Over time the copper colour fades, and I find the tapes also become less effective. So I renew mine every 2 years.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I haven't found a review on the slug gel here, which is what is being sold on this page. anyone please?Do you have to buy the tape to use the gel?**
A: No you should just put the gel around the plants you want protecting, you will need to repeat every so often

**Q: What width is the tape?**
A: 3 cm, but to be honest, it hasn't stopped the snails

**Q: would this work to stop slugs getting in through the back door either attached to upvc or brick please help !**
A: Hi,

It is designed for use on flower pots, raised beds and planters although it should work with UPVC although we cannot guarantee this.

Thanks,

**Q: are there 2 slug traps in this pack for £2**
A: Yes, I seem to remember that there are two in the box

### ⭐⭐⭐ ****updated review**** Not the same quality that it used to be.
*by A***Y on 23 April 2018*

*****updated review***** I bought this years ago and successfully grew a courgette plant and no slugs passed the tape so now I’ve built a raised bed I thought I’ll buy it again. It’s just not the same quality tape I got the first time round. It tore easily when applying and even when taking the cling film type wrap of it - it split the tape down the centre and it was unusable. Disappointing and definitely not the same quality that it used be. —————————————————————— Original review.. This product has the feel of a good quality heavy tin foil in tape form. It wasn’t flimsy or thin and was more than sticky enough to do the job. I dry wiped my pots to ensure no dust before applying. I’ve only just planted my plants in these pots and I take it that’s the best way to approach the control of pests. If you already have a problem the tape can do little for you. Many slugs burrow under the soil during the day so will already be present in your pots. I’ve applied this to four medium to large pots and I still have a small amount left. You can’t get it smooth, it does wrinkle but it is still aesthetically pleasing and as long as it does the job I’m happy. I will update my review should any slugs manage to cross this.
