There is another web site that has been running an

slows them down )


I remember watching a slug slither its way happily over the
copper tape I had put on a large plantpot. :-(

Indeed it will. I gave wool pellets a trial, and my slugs treated
them like a comfy pair of socks - no evident deterrent effect.
