If you have access to stain-glass supplies,  there is a very thin copper tape
used for copper-foil stain glass technique.  It is about 1/4 inch wide and has
an adhesive on the back.  I have thought of using this around the edge of the
benches on which I grow my seedlings,  aka the snail salad bar.  I have tried
covering them with fine netting,  but the little suckers ate right through the
netting leaving leaves with numerous little holes.  Escargot anyone?  I doubt
this tape would work on the ground tho.
