This guide is for fruit tree owners seeking an effective, non-toxic method to protect their trees from crawling pests like winter moths and ants. The key benefit is creating a physical barrier that prevents insects from reaching the fruit, ensuring a healthier harvest. A caveat to consider is that the bands need periodic replacement to maintain their efficacy. These clear bands utilize a non-drying, non-toxic glue to stop pests in their tracks, offering a safe and long-lasting solution for orchard health.

Yes, it is recommended to remove any loose moss or bark from the trunk where you plan to apply the band. This ensures better adhesion and effectiveness.
Ensure the tree trunk is clean and dry before application. Remove loose bark and moss. Apply the band tightly and secure it with the string.
Check for any gaps between the band and the tree trunk. Ensure the band is applied at the correct height and is sufficiently wide. Re-tie the string to tighten the band.
Make sure the extra 3cm overlap is utilized and secured firmly with the string. Ensure the surface of the tree is not excessively damp or covered in loose debris.
