Agricultural Sticky Traps (Yellow & Blue)

Agricultural Sticky Traps (Yellow & Blue)

Agricultural sticky traps are a simple yet effective way to manage pest populations in your crops. These traps utilize the instincts and behaviors of insects to lure them in and capture them on an adhesive surface. They offer a non-toxic and targeted approach to pest control, making them ideal for organic and sustainable farming practices.

Use yellow sticky traps to lure and monitor maximum pests, along with whiteflies, fungus gnats, shore flies, thrips, winged aphids, leafminers, etc.

Using blue traps is best for thrips, which is helpful in case you need to display for thrips even excluding the inadvertent seizure of parasitoids like Aphidius spp—and other at-risk bio-controls.

Precaution:

Make sure you operate with care.
Reduce hold-period if wanted, just be steady.
Be aware they’ll inadvertently capture parasitic wasps, midges, and beetles.
Sticky Traps attract pest bugs using a particular color spectrum. They do not require lures or baits, but they can be more advantageous with important oils which include Melissa, Lemon, or Cinnamon Oil. Trapping is the most efficient manner to reveal your crop for pest insects and may frequently imply the insect’s presence early enough that other control measures can be taken.
