With slugs and snails consistently featuring in the top 3 of the RHS Garden Pest List, these attractive Slug Copper Bands will form an impenetrable barrier up to 8.5cm (3") in height once pushed into the soil. Simply slip over individual plants or easily link bands together to form larger barriers and marauding slugs and snails that try to cross will immediately retreat once their sensitive nerve endings make contact with the copper. These simple to use copper slug defence rings will give year on year service protecting countless salads, cabbages and hostas and are available in three garden-wise sizes; Small, Large and Extra Large.
