How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[redhotchick]

I know a few people have mentioned that copper tape is useful for repelling slugs.

Homebase have a 4m roll of adhesive copper tape reduced to £2.50.

Hope someone finds this helpful. Pesky slugs!

That sounds good never used copper tape. But those snails may pop into homebase tomorrow....just to look

Darn it, I was in Homebase 2 days ago . Luckily it's on the way to Sainsbury's where I need to go tomorrow .

Our Homebase stopped selling it 6 months ago .

I tried that last year and it seemed to work. The adhesive isn't brilliant though.

Same here, I had to put some on the girls' new aluminium feeder, there was always a large slug gobbling up the pellets It appears to have deterred them anyway. Just make sure whatever you are sticking it to is clean and dry, as Claret is quite correct, the sticky ain't good quality

OH found a massive slug in the kitchen this morning. On the ceiling . It had come aboard on the glug, I suspect .

Have used the tape for a couple of years and find it quite good, if expensive.

 

Slugs got into my mini greenhouse yesterday and have munched on a chilli plant Pot is now taped

That is one of those things I am always meaning to buy but always forget!

 

Have just looked on e-bay and bought 6, 4m rolls with postage for just under a fiver.

Which seller did you get them from?

I just put 'adhesive copper tape' in the search and it came up with a good selection and I just picked one. Can't tell you the actual seller ATM but the tape arrived yesterday and I have already put some around my pots with hostas in.

not adhesive copper tape - but I recently read that using bran as a mulch kills slugs. They love it ! They eat it, it swells up and they die. Double purpose, mulch and slug killer.

 

Costs about £6 a 20kg sack from horse feed stores

Lovely . Bloated, bursting slugs everywhere .
