Fruit Tree Glue Band - 5m x 5cm

The bands are recommended for application from October to April to control winter moths. They are also effective against ants and other seasonal crawling pests from May to August.

Yes, the bands are designed to be safe for tree trunks. Ensure you apply them snugly but not so tightly as to constrict growth, and avoid damaging the bark during application or removal.

The non-drying glue is formulated to remain tacky over an extended period, typically throughout the recommended application seasons. However, heavy debris accumulation can reduce effectiveness over time.

Yes, you can cut the 5m band to the specific length needed for your tree trunks. Ensure the cut edge is also secured properly.

Primarily targets crawling insects such as winter moths, ants, and earwigs that move up the tree trunk.

While the glue is non-toxic, it is sticky and can trap any insect that comes into contact with it. It's designed to target specific pest species, but incidental trapping of other small insects can occur.

Once removed, the used glue bands can typically be disposed of with regular household waste. Check local regulations if you have concerns.

Ensure the protective backing (if any) has been fully removed from both sides. Check if the band has been exposed to excessive dust or moisture which can reduce tackiness over time. Consider replacing if it's very old or has accumulated significant debris.

Ensure the band is applied very snugly against the tree trunk with absolutely no gaps underneath. Small gaps can allow determined pests to crawl through. Make sure the band is positioned high enough on the trunk.

Use a small amount of vegetable oil or mineral oil to gently loosen the adhesive. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water afterwards.
