19. June 2012, 11:00:04 Just a quick question on slug and snail control... I'm trying out using aluminium foil as a deterrent rather than using slug pellets. Can anyone advise on the effectiveness of aluminium foil v copper, as I've heard good things about it as well. Or, if you've not found them effective as a deterrent, can someone recommend a good animal and children safe alternative? Cheers :) 19.

Yet I am finding (after finding various articles on the net) foil and copper are not to slugs taste! As a point blank deterrent it's discouraged all but one little salad muncher. Though that could have been through proximity to a low wall. 20.
