Slug and Snail Repellent Copper Ring, Large
£6.00
These attractive copper rings are designed to protect your flowers, fruits and vegetables from the unsolicited attention of slugs and snails. These persistent pests detest crawling over copper because it gives them a mild electric shock when they come into contact with it. The shock doesn’t harm them, but they’re thought to find the sensation unpleasant enough to turn their back on your precious crops and munch elsewhere. Copper rings can be used in pots and borders.
Ideal for vulnerable plants such as hostas, dahlias, lupins, delphiniums, courgettes, beans and lettuces. See Product Details for a fitting guide.

Fitting Advice
- Press the Slug Ring firmly into the soil around the plant.
- Make sure that there are no slugs or snails trapped inside. Have a good root around to be certain, because they won't be able to get out.
- Ensure the ring is scrunched into the soil a little way to leave no gaps underneath for a slug to sneak through. Wet the soil first if it’s too hard.
- Check there are no leaves overhanging the ring and touching the soil to make a bridge for slugs and snails to cross.
