How long does the tape last, for example does it break up in wet weather?

I'm desperate to keep slugs away from my kitchen and areas where my dog might pick them up.

  • I have used a very similar product over many years and it remains effective except for where it has had actual physical wear and tear - it did not break down or corrode significantly through action of sun, rain, ice etc. In fact, the tape and even the adhesive has outlived the wooden planter I used it on. (I don't know if this one has the same adhesive, though worst case if it failed you could still stick it back on!) By Chris C - Blewbury, Oxon - 17 August 2016

    This is a thin copper tape and will remain effective until the copper corrodes sufficiently to disintegrate after a significant time of exposure.
