GS Glue Band Traps

How to use:

• Apply in early autumn and keep in place until the following spring

• Re-apply between May and August to protect from ants, earwigs and other crawling insect pests

• The glue band should be placed around the tree trunk below the lowest branch and 50-80cm above the ground

• Where trees are supported by a stake it is vital that the stake is also banded

• Remove any moss or lichen before applying the glue band

• Cut off sufficient to go round the tree trunk with a minimum overlap of 1cm

• Unfold the glue band and wrap it around the tree with the glue side outwards. The glue on the overlap will hold the band in position

• Tie the band top and bottom above and below the glue area

• Do not allow debris to stick to the glue band as this may form a bridge for insects to cross over
