This is a brand new and potentially exciting product. Remember copper strips? You wrapped them around a pot...made a fence with it. Because of the price of copper, purchasing them became prohibitive. Here's a similar idea with a "twist". Chain link copper. Slug Shield is safe, easy to use, long lasting, non-toxic, rain proof, maintenance free and eco friendly. "It's like an electric barbed wire fence against slugs". Form this chain link copper around the base of your plant and the slugs/snails and they get an electromagnetic shock. Better than strips. Worth a try. One dozen links 6" long for stalks up to 2" in diameter. I
