I have heard that copper gets rid of slugs...Will this work?...Also how long is the roll?

Don't know about slugs? Didn't come in a roll, although that is what's pictured... came folded flat. When used for rodent control, it failed. They simply moved it out of heir way. You're better off using regular steel wool instead.

I happen to have the unused roll here at my desk, so I fumbled around trying to find the end inside the box. (I found the tool in there that I claimed was not included in my review) I cut the end, melted back the tiny little jacket on one of the wires and nipped the end. I'll be darned... it is copper coated aluminum! The cut end is not copper, it is aluminum color. The outside of the wire IS copper. No where on the box does it indicate one way or another. It works well. We strung it up between two buildings about 6 mos. ago and have had no issues. I hope this helps.

This may work better to PROTECT brass. I don't consider it a cleaner however.

We use it for slugs of course. I don't remember using it but I must have last year. I also love lady bugs but don't often see them. They don't act like slugs so I doubt it would get to them. Lady bugs are such a good infestation. . . . Judy in Sitka, Alaska

Brass should be softer than your bore on your guns so it should not score. Also this is a patch holder so you should always used with a patch with or without the clearning solvent. Use with a good cleaning rod made cleaning much easier. Hope this answer your question.

I used the product for something totally different than advertised for... but... we lived in an old house and used steel wool to stop up holes to thwart mice, the wool will eventually rust completely, how fast depending on humidity. Copper would last longer. We eventually used expanding foam, but you have to be careful of the amount used or it can warp wallboard. I think this product would probably be great for rodent inhibitor. Me? I unraveled it to use for copper 'yarn'... go figure

I agree with Savvy D. about the diatomacious earth. It is your best bet for slugs. Also Sluggo works well for slugs and I would consider using both. However, I don't think an insecticide will touch them. I feel for you because I've been there. My vegetable garden was attacked by slugs a few years ago. My husband and I got rid of most of them by hand picking them (with gloves on) at night and drowning them in disposable bowls filled with salt water. We counted over 600 in a 750 sq ft garden. I used Diatomacious earth and Sluggo to get rid of the rest. One point to make though is you'll need to put out more diatomacious earth when it rains. Good Luck!

Rock salt will get rid of them as well as ground slugs (it dries out the area) but it will certainly kill all vegetation except tumbleweeds as well.

You can get a copper cleaner. Don't use on the inside and make sure it isn't flammable.

I say yes due to the fact snails do not like copper and this product is very flexible so it can be formed for any use

Hi... sorry, but I am of no help here as I've not yet used this tool. Got it as I am a gadget head. I've stainless pin tumbler cleaned about 2300 brass cases but have not yet used this reloading tool. Hope your re-loading efforts go well.

I have not cleaned brass with this but have done silver. I cleaned a pair of my bf's cufflinks that belonged to his grandfather. I cleaned them in a solution with the jewelery cleaner for two sessions at 380. A lot of stuff does come off but you still have to finish off with a polishing cloth. My suggestion is that if your brass items are very tarnished, putting them into the Ultrasonic cleaner will help give you a head start. Hope this helps.

It would be better to use a cleaning kit for 40 caliber. This will work but not be as effective.

I say yes, tumble it, brass comes out clean, but dark and blotchy.Also make sure you dry them out very well, water stays in the primer area, and if you load a primer with moisture in it, it will kill the primer. Tumbling will help with this.

Hello, When I used the Snake-B-Gone, I just sprinkled the little pellets under tree's, bushes, along the property line. I would use it just like the pellets of the Snail's B'Gone, Hope I have helped and that all of your little slither s stay away. B

This product is specifically for Roots that are growing into your pipes. This is more typical with the OLD STYLE Piping (1930's-1960's). It won't unclog a drain if its due to hair,grease,etc.The Copper somewhat kills the roots back causing them to shrink & retract. If you notice the problem is more prominent in Sept.-Oct(First rain) through April then you have a Root issue.

I have embossed 30g copper. If the metal is thin enough to roll through without forcing the handle, it will emboss.
