Snails almost killed a beloved datura plant in a pot, and were ravaging some of our garden veggies. We fed many of them to our neighbors' ducks down the street. I did some research online and thought I would try running some of this tape around our raised beds and our outdoor plant pots.
For the raised beds, I used a layer of duct tape as a base before applying this copper tape. So far, it has worked with 100% effectiveness! We've even seen snails just stop at its lower edge and seem confused, staying there until they dried out -- did it get too hot for them, were they stunned, were they waiting for it to disappear? The only thing I didn't like was finding dozens of pill bugs under part of the duct tape, almost all dead. I wonder what happened there. I like pill bugs (aka potato bugs). I like snails too, in fact, but as with rats and mice, it is necessary to create and enforce strong boundaries with them, lest they run roughshod over all we cherish. -- Wow! Just as I wrote that, I heard a rat trap snap, behind our stove in the kitchen. Not kidding. -- Alas, I have just checked it and discovered tha, while indeed it was triggered, the triggerer escaped. If only these rodents were potty trained, and respected personal property, well... then they wouldn't be rodents, would they?
Back to the snails -- this tape works well for us! It is thin and tears easily. It is sharp and can cut your ungloved hand easily. I recommend using gloves, being patient and careful, and applying duct tape as a base over wood and any material that is rough.

Just What I Needed
I purchased this to see if shielding the ellectronics of my guitar would reduce odd noises (clicks and beeps). I haven't worked with copper tape before, but I was able to cover everything inside in an hour. I used a multimeter to verify continuity at different spots, including the tremolo ground.A quick sound test proved that the shielding had noticeably reduced the noise.There was a lot of tape left. The tape arrived in its own box, which makes storage easier.

I watched some YouTube videos on how to do my own shielding of the cavities in my electric guitar body using this foil tape. With a little care and time, this worked quite well. The adhesive appears to be quite conductive. I measured very good continuity across all of the overlapping strips of tape that I placed and burnished into the wood cavities of my guitar. I did add a grounding wire to a screw from the controls on the pickguard to the guitar body to be absolutely sure there was conductivity between the foil on the back of the pick guard and the foil in the pickup cavities. See the black wire that terminates to a screw on washer in the last picture. It's also beautiful when finished.
