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.

We had this problem a couple of years ago but i noticed the last couple of years a msssive decline in them..i think some of thr birds hsve been eating them and we also have slow worns which eat slugs/snails.
If you can introduce slow worms to your garden it will be a massive help
