Benefits of Bugs for Bugs blue sticky traps

Made of biodegradable materials

The long-lasting glue is non-toxic, water-repellent and does not dry out in hot conditions

A grid on each side of the trap makes counting easier

How does it work?

Peel open and reverse-fold the trap to expose the sticky surface

Hang the trap on a plant, post or wire using the twist-tie supplied

Thrips are especially attracted to the blue colour and they stick to the trap

Check for and count pests on traps at least once a week to detect new infestations and monitor trends in existing pest populations

Suitable crops

These traps are suitable for use both indoors and outdoors, however they may deteriorate somewhat if they are left in the field exposed to heavy rain or overhead irrigation for an extended period

Please note that users of sticky traps in Victoria are required to install a protective cage or structure to keep animals out. In protected cropping the greenhouse structure acts as a sufficient barrier, but in outdoor crops additional measures must be taken to protect wildlife.
