The Rentokil Houseplant Insect Trap is an essential tool for indoor gardeners looking to manage pest populations without the use of chemical pesticides. Ideal for hobbyists and plant enthusiasts, these traps effectively capture common nuisances like fungus gnats, whiteflies, and aphids, ensuring your houseplants remain healthy and vibrant. While they are highly effective at monitoring and catching flying insects, it is important to note that they act as a preventative and containment solution rather than a total cure for a severe, long-standing soil-borne infestation.

The traps are pesticide-free; however, the adhesive is sticky, so they should be kept out of reach of curious pets and small children to avoid accidental contact.
You should change the traps when the surface area is mostly covered by insects or when the adhesive loses its effectiveness, which varies based on the infestation level.
These traps are primarily designed for flying insects like fungus gnats, whiteflies, and aphids. They are generally not effective for spider mites which live on the underside of leaves.
These are intended for indoor houseplant use. Outdoor use may result in the traps catching beneficial insects or becoming ineffective due to exposure to weather and dust.
The traps are designed to be placed in the soil. To avoid damage, ensure they are positioned so the sticky surface does not come into direct contact with the foliage.
Ensure the trap is placed as close to the soil level as possible, as this is where most flying pests congregate.
Ensure the stake is pushed deep enough into the soil or potting medium to provide a stable base.
Setting up the traps is a simple three-step process: remove the trap from the packaging, peel away the protective wax paper covering the adhesive, and insert the bottom stake firmly into the potting soil. They are compatible with all common potting substrates, including soil, coco coir, and LECA. To maintain their effectiveness, periodically check the traps; once the surface is covered in insects, remove the trap and dispose of it in household waste. When handling, avoid touching the adhesive side to prevent residue on your skin.
