Product Information
Full details
The Growing Success Whitefly Trap is designed for home gardeners and indoor plant enthusiasts who need a non-toxic method to manage flying pest populations. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-visibility yellow attractant and a powerful natural adhesive, making it an effective tool for monitoring and reducing whitefly, greenfly, and thrip numbers. A key caveat to keep in mind is that while the traps are excellent for monitoring and suppression, they should be used as part of an integrated pest management strategy rather than a total extermination solution for severe infestations.

FAQs
Are these traps safe for my cats or dogs?
Yes, the traps use a natural, non-toxic adhesive and contain no harmful chemicals, making them safe for households with pets.
Can I use these traps outdoors?
Yes, they are suitable for outdoor use, though you may need to replace them more frequently due to outdoor dust or debris.
Do I need to spray chemicals with these traps?
No, these traps are designed to be a standalone, non-toxic monitoring tool, though they can be used alongside other cultural pest control methods.
How often should I change the traps?
Replace the traps every 3-4 weeks, or sooner if the surface becomes completely covered by captured insects.
Will these traps kill all the whiteflies in my greenhouse?
The traps are highly effective at monitoring and reducing adult numbers, but they do not kill eggs or larvae. Use them as part of a wider management plan.
Troubleshooting
Traps are not catching insects despite visible pests
Ensure the traps are positioned at the correct height, usually just above the top of the plant leaves, to intercept flight paths.
Adhesive surface has lost its stickiness
This often happens due to dust accumulation; replace the trap with a fresh one to restore effectiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your trap, peel off the protective backing paper to expose the adhesive surface. Hang the trap using the provided materials or twine, ensuring it is positioned slightly above the plant foliage to maximize visibility to pests. For optimal results, replace the traps every few weeks or once the surface becomes heavily covered with insects and dust. The traps are compatible with almost all indoor and greenhouse plants. Store unused traps in a cool, dry place and keep them away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the adhesive.
