Growing Success Glue Band Traps
Green band which forms a barrier to prevent wingless female moths from climbing trees to lay their eggs. Pesticide free and suitable for organic gardening.
Size 1.75m
HOW TO USE
- Apply in early autumn and keep in place until the following spring.
- Re-apply between May and August to protect from ants, earwigs and other crawling insect pests.
- The glue band should be placed around the tree trunk below the lowest branch and 50-80cm above the ground.
- Where trees are supported by a stake it is vital that the stake is also banded.
- Remove any moss or lichen before applying the glue band.
- Cut off sufficient to go round the tree trunk with a minimum overlap of 1cm.
- Unfold the glue band and wrap it around the tree with the glue side outwards. The glue on the overlap will hold the band in position.
- Tie the band top and bottom above and below the glue area.
- Do not allow debris to stick to the glue band as this may form a bridge for insects to cross over.
