    Yellow sticky traps are used to monitor and control small flying insect pests like whiteflies, aphids, thrips, and fruit flies. The traps use a non-drying yellow glue to catch the winged adult insects. For greenhouses, one trap per 25 square feet is recommended, with additional traps near doors and vents. White sticky traps target flea beetles and tarnished plant bugs. Essential oils can also be added to the traps to attract specific pests. Traps should be checked weekly to monitor pest population levels and the effectiveness of control methods.

    YELLOW STICKY TRAPS:

    Small flying insect pests are attracted by the unique yellow color and stick to the non-drying glue coating
    the trap

    Many insect pests are difficult to control with insecticides. By catching the winged adults with Yellow
    Sticky Traps before they reach the plants, the build up of pests will be delayed. Existing insect
    populations may also be reduced. If the problem is severe biological controls may be used.

    Yellow sticky traps are a non toxic way to control and monitor – whiteflies, aphids, Onion fly, Cabbage
    white butterfly, fruit flies, thrips, cucumber beetles, fungus gnats, leafhoppers, froghoppers, moths, , flea
    beetles, leaf miners etc.

    As an integral part of integrated pest management program they can be used in greenhouses, homes,
    orchards, flower and vegetable gardens, anywhere insects are a problem.

    The glue does not dry out and the traps will last until the surface area is completely covered with insects,
    even through rain.

    They store indefinitely until you need them.

    The total surface area of each individual trap is 42 square inches.

    Non poisonous and weatherproof!

    WHITE STICKY TRAPS:

    White traps are for monitoring flea beetles and tarnished plant bugs

    HOW MANY TRAPS TO USE:

    FOR GREEN /GLASS House


    Where the traps are to be used for pest suppression in glasshouses, as a guideline, use at least one trap per 25 sq.
    feet of greenhouse area. (e.g. two traps in a 6' x 8' greenhouse, three traps in an 8' x 10' greenhouse and
    five traps in an 8' x 12' greenhouse) increasing or decreasing the density in light of the severity of the problem.

    If the sole purpose is to monitor pest populations then traps can used a much lower density at ~ 1 trap per 100 to
    1000 square meters depending on the crop and the size of the glasshouse.

    How to Use

    Remove the protective cover paper from the traps. Suspend the traps just above the plants using the wire
    provided. Additional traps may be suspended near vents and doors to catch any insects flying from
    outside. Where plants are grown on benches, traps may be laid horizontally on the bench, removing the
    cover paper from the upper surface.

    When to Use

    Best results will be achieved if traps are introduced early in the season, before the pest is established. If
    adults are already present they should be disturbed by tapping the plants.

    How long does it last?

    The trap will stay sticky and attractive for several months. They should be changed sooner if more than
    half the surface is covered with insects or dust.

    After introduction of predators, suspend the traps well above the crop, or use laid flat on the bench. If
    used as directed they will trap adult insects not affected by predators.

    Monitoring methods:

    Yellow sticky cards and potato pieces placed on potting media are good methods for monitoring adult
    and larval populations, respectively.

    For Fungus Gnats Sticky Traps are most effective when place horizontally on the potting media surface,
    although vertically positioned cards hung over the crop canopy are also effective and trap more of other
    types of insect pests as well. In greenhouses cards placed under the benches, close to intake vents, near
    doorways and outside the greenhouse can provide additional information to detect breeding areas.

    Continuous monitoring (weekly) can provide the following information:

    1) First detection of low populations


    2) Population density increases or decreases over time

    3) The level and length of suppression resulting from the implementation of suppression tactics.

    To trap other pests, add essential oils or other scents for your specific pest.

    • Grapefruit oil (or shredded grapefruit peel) will attract fruit flies

    • Rose oil (or rose petals!) will attract thrips

    • Cinnamon oil, cypress oil, and rosemary oil will also attract thrips

    • Melissa oil will also attract thrips, fungus gnat, and biting insects like horse flies, deer flies and
    mosquitoes

    • Lemon oil will attract whitefly and fungus gnat

    • Clove oil will attract leafminer

    • Kumquat will also attract biting insects like horse flies, deer flies and mosquitoes
