Default Advice needed: snails vs. copper strips

I seem to remember an article years ago on using copper strips and running a
low current though them sort of like an electric fence.Cant remember where i
read it though
i use foil just household grade aroung good plants with kitty litter spread
around the pot in a circle.Snails and slugs cant cross this without
inflicting themselves permanant harm!

Have you had success 'controlling' snails with copper strips? What
products, techniques, placement, barrier design etc. have you tried?

Have
you used bulk copper foil (alloy 110) from suppliers like McMaster-Carr
and/or found an optimum thickness and width? Do you know the thickness of
Snail-Barr? Any advice/info is appreciated.
