Slug Copper Rings Slugs put the brakes on the gardener's biggest enemy, slugs, as they are unable to attack plants surrounded by one of these copper rings. The copper ring forms a physical barrier around plants and also gives slugs an unpleasant shock-like sensation when they try and cross or climb the copper, caused by a reaction between the metal and the mucus they rely on to move.
There are two sizes of Slug Copper Rings available; the 10cm diameter version and a larger 17cm diameter size for larger plants. Both sizes of Slug Copper Rings are supplied in a packs of six.
• Slug Copper Rings available in two sizes
• Smaller ring has an approx. diameter of 10cm
• Larger version is 17cm across
• Slug Copper Rings form a physical barrier round the plant
• Shock-like sensation deters the slug should it attempt to scale the copper
• Rings pull apart to enable them to be removed from climbers or bushy plants

• When applying, ensure that the area is free from slugs and that no leaves are touching the surrounding soil
• Copper will dull quickly after handling and exposure to weather
