The Slug and Snail Band (STV094) is a new addition to STV's Defenders range of garden care products.
The extendable copper band, which lengthens to 55cm and is an organic pest solution, generates a small repellent charge when a slug or snail attempts to cross it.

Reusable, the copper band is more versatile than sticky copper tape because it can be freestanding in soil and does not have to be stuck onto anything.

Multiple bands can be linked together to protect larger areas such as flowerbeds and vegetable patches and can still be used around pots.

They come in an eye-catching shelf-ready pack and each band is individually wrapped and carries a barcode for easy off-shelf selling. RRP £4.99.
