Description

Biobest Yellow Sticky Traps – These sticky traps lure insects using bright colours and traps them with a sticky, non-toxic glue which coats both sides of the card. The yellow trap attracts aphids, thrips, flies, fungus gnats, whiteflies and leafminers.

Hang sticky traps close to plantings by using the perforated holes in the traps, and then peel off the protective coatings from both sides of the trap. Cut to a smaller size if required.

The sticky traps are water-resistant and may last for several months, depending on the severity of the infestation. Replace once half of the surface of the trap is covered with insects or dust. The square grid pattern allows you to count specimens over area and monitor the level of infestation.

We recommend setting the traps early in the season before the populations of insects build.

Biobest Yellow Sticky Traps dimensions: 25 cm x 10 cm

Sticky traps are primarily a tool for identifying adult insect pests present in a greenhouse or other grow spaces, but can also bring down numbers if the grow space is of a smaller nature. Ideally, an integrated pest management plan should also be implemented to keep numbers within limits.

Sticky traps only capture airborne adults and do not capture immature stages that commonly cause most crop damage.

Some greenhouse pests such as spider mites, scales and mealybugs are usually not caught on sticky traps. Only winged aphids are captured, and winged forms do not typically appear until population levels are high. For these reasons, sticky traps must be used in combination with visual plant inspections to confirm the presence of economically damaging pest populations.
