The Gardening Naturally Glue Bands Tree Pest Traps are designed for orchardists, gardeners, and homeowners looking for a non-toxic method to protect fruit and ornamental trees from crawling pests. These traps provide an effective physical barrier against winter moths, ants, and vine weevils by capturing them before they can reach the tree canopy. While they are highly effective, they require seasonal monitoring and regular replacement to ensure the adhesive surface remains sticky and capable of trapping insects effectively.

For optimal results, apply the bands approximately 45-60cm above the soil level.
You should replace the bands every six months to maintain an effective, sticky surface.
While the bands are non-toxic, they are sticky. If you notice birds or beneficial insects getting stuck, you can apply a loose protective mesh over the band.
Apply the bands in October and keep them in place through April.
Yes, they can be applied to trunks or support stakes for potted trees as long as the pests are climbing up the main structure.
It is recommended to apply them to any trees you wish to protect, especially if they are susceptible to aphid-farming ants or moth larvae.
Ensure the band is tied tightly against the bark at both the top and bottom with the provided string to eliminate gaps.
The adhesive may be covered by dust or debris. If the trap is over six months old, replace it with a fresh band.
Gently smooth the area of the trunk with a brush to remove loose bark before applying the band for a better seal.
Installation is a straightforward process. First, clear the area of the trunk where the band will be placed by removing loose moss or debris. Measure the trunk circumference and cut the 70cm band to size if necessary, or overlap it for smaller trees. Wrap the band securely around the trunk with the sticky side facing outward. Use the provided string to tie the band firmly at the top and bottom edges; this is essential to ensure no gaps exist between the band and the bark. To maintain optimal performance, inspect the bands periodically for trapped debris and replace them entirely every six months to refresh the adhesive surface.
