CatchmasterTree Banding Insect Barrier DIY 15oz Pail, Lanternfly & Ant Traps, Outdoor Adhesive Crawling Insect Trap, Glue Traps to Protect Trees, Fruit & Plants

This product was delivered quickly and was easy to apply. Package included all the necessary tools. Applied product on trees with saran wrap and it was effective the first day. It has lasted through thunder and ice storms.

I Have 11 fruit trees and the ants were planting aphids on them faster than I could brush them off. I tried everything, like inside-out duct tape, vaseline, package tape, the ants would just walk right over all of them. It did help when I sprayed neem oil (until the next rain) and when I created little honey/borax traps in little water bottles on the ground at the base of the tree. I also threw down corn meal mixed with borax on the ground. Those killed a lot of ants, but there were always a few still caring for the aphids on my new leaves.Finally I ordered this terrible sticky stuff and it's work perfectly. It was easy to apply with a disposable stick (definitely wear some disposable rubber gloves) and it holds onto any insect that touches it. No ant problem since applying it, and it's caught a number of other types of bugs. Rain doesn't effect its stickiness, and it looks like one quick application will last the whole season. I have plenty of product left for years to come.

Great product—but I thought it came with a plastic applicator and material to wrap around my fruit tree trunk. Too bad.Looks like I need turpentine or gasoline to wide clean my putty knife and anything else. It’s very very sticky but effective to keep ants off my citrus trees.

I've used this type of barrier for years. God-awful to apply but it doesn't matter what it looks like. Make the stripe at least 2" wide. Dead critters stack up and can bridge a narrow stripe. Clean up with a gasoline soaked rag. The stuff gets everywhere.

Purchased to catch spotted lantern flies, if you don't know what they are, wait a few minutes and you will. They are taking over the country, destroying anything and everything. They are fond of vegetation in general and are hard to kill. If you try and step on them they jump before you can get them. The trick is to get your foot in front of them. They can only jump forward, so if you get in front they have to jump into your foot! Remember where you learned this... Anyways, resistance is futile, their is not enough feet in the world to stomp them all out! They spread and multiply faster than rabbits on spring break. You will be amazed that the first time you see them you will see thousands of them, then next year a million of them will be there! Then they are literally every place you look, covering your entire house! No exaggerating!The trick to this is that they lay their eggs in trees and at night they walk up the trees and homes and everything else to eat sleep and reproduce. So you wrap the tree a few feet of the ground with some plastic food wrap or shrink wrap and then spread this sticky stuff onto the plastic all the way around the tree. The next day it is covered by thousands of flies! That's when you are grateful I gave you the plastic wrap advice. Just peel it off and toss it out and start over again. Your mind is going to be blown at the amount of these flies you will catch daily. Only bad part is that this large tub isn't going to put a dent in the population and you will be going insane with how many their are. Stock up on this stuff though because this is about the best stuff you can find for the job, I tried everything else and this brand is the best! It isn't going to be a cure for the problem at all, but if you have fruit trees or any food baring tree, they will destroy in just days. And they haven't found any type of insecticide that even touches these things. But even if they did, would you want it on your food? So this is it! Get it now before the price climbs up. It's not an if it happens situation, it is going to happen and it's happening fast! They spread across 2 states in a year or less, they have no enemy and they have nothing to fear, if it can kill them, it can kill anything. This is a chemical free solution that won't put a dent in the problem but can save the tree it's on!Again, this is not a drill! Buy it now!
