gnasher16 30,425 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Its one of the useless bits of information stored away in my head but im positive when slugs come into contact with copper they get a small electric shock.....it doesnt kill them so you wont need to scrape up mank of any sort it just encourages them to go somewhere else.....pretty sure you can buy copper strips you could put around plants pots etc,if not chuck a load of pennies down ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
