Copper does NOT keep slugs out of your garden

I read on a website discussing natural ways to get rid of slugs that they will not cross over copper. I have a bunch of beading wire that is 100% copper so I started making rings around my plants with it. Then I saw a slug. I surrounded it with the copper wire. The slug slimed its way right over the copper wire like idgaf. I stopped putting copper wire around my plants and gathered the rest back. Dont believe everything you read on the internet and copper is not the solution for everything.

A lot of salt, enough to jack up their blood pressure. That will kill them for sure

@Nanoose everything is wet around around here and all the rain washes the bait away

@morrgin Just a little bit where they lie 😁

@morrgin What I used to do was cut a bike tube into one foot long pieces then put the bait in the middle of the tube the tube kept the bait dry and not be able to wash away. Cheers!
