There is another web site that has been running an

I remember watching a slug slither its way happily over the
copper tape I had put on a large plantpot. :-(

The results of this study will be interesting

I am intrigued that they say they will check the plants once a week. In
my garden, without slug pellets, in two days the plants would be gone.

But I too am interested in their results as I would much rather not use
the pellets if there are effective alternatives.
