    THANK YOU everyone for your tips, they are fab and i appreciate everyone chipping in with them - i'll be sure to write them down and give them a go.

    Sharp grit was suggested, could i put that on top of the soil in all my containers? I have herbs in my pots, with marigolds dotted around.

    I'd just like to say that the copper tape is bloody useless!

    Yep, use the grit as a dressing.

    think i may try the sharp grit then as it may be the least labour intensive. I will see how that goes. The copper tape is def NOT working as i have been putting salt around the plants as n extra precaution and ive found one or two dead from the salt!

    Thanks everyone for the advice!!
