FAQs

How long does the tape last?

The tape is designed to be long-lasting, but the lifespan can vary depending on weather conditions and environmental factors. Regular inspection is recommended.

Is the tape safe for pets and children?

Yes, the tape is chemical-free and safe for use around pets and children.

Can I use the tape on wet surfaces?

For best results, apply the tape to a dry surface. Wet surfaces can reduce the tape's adhesion.

Each roll contains 4 meters of tape, which is sufficient for protecting multiple pots or a small raised bed.

Can I use this tape on all types of plants?

How do I remove the tape?

The tape can be carefully peeled off the surface. Use a scraper to remove any remaining adhesive residue if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not sticking properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of debris before application. Press firmly on the tape to ensure good adhesion.

Slugs and snails are still crossing the tape.

Check for gaps or breaks in the tape and ensure it's applied correctly. The serrated edge should face outwards.
