Catchmaster Tree Shield Lantern Fly & Ant Traps Insect Barrier, 4 Rolls 30ft Each, Outdoor Adhesive Crawling Insect Trap, Glue Traps to Protect Trees, Fruit & Plants, Pest Control Lawn & Garden

I was determined to be on top of the Spotted LAntern Fly issue this year and know that the battle all begins with the Nymphs as they hatch, this tape was my first purchase and one that I will buy and stock up on. PLEASE COVER WITH A LIGHT CHICKENWIRE!!! I simply cut a piece of chicken wire and gave it a contour to lay over the tape, the bark on my tree is so rigid that there was no nailing needed to hold the wire in place but this part is IMPORTANT because this tape is so sticky that it will for sure catch unwanted allies such as the yard birds and no one wants that. This tape has stayed perfectly sticky even after all the fierce rains thats we have had lately. The only reason I’ve changed this tape is because it caught so many nymphs that there was barely room for more. I’ve taken out tens of thousands of Nymphys thanks to this wonderful product. It is super simple to use too. Just unroll it while you all around the tree and stick it to itself firmly around the trunk. This was money well spent as you can see in the photo.

Easy to apply catching hundreds if not thousands of flies, ants and stink bugs too! What you see in the pictures is 24 hours immediately following application. There was enough left to easily reapply a second time. We have a very small and very old orchard with big trees. The ants have been relentless in pursuit of damaging our trees and the fruit. This was way better than spraying chemicals on our four ancient trees. (One 🍐 and three 🍎’s) The cost was minimal and the result thus far is amazing. Very happy with how this is working. A+++

This is nothing more than waxpaper with glue on one side. It tears very easily. I honestly don't think that I purposely added this to my cart, I think the link adding it to my cart must have ended up with this product. I wanted a breathable cloth tree wrap but didn't thoroughly review my cart items before placing my order.Update: I didn't intend to order this product but I did use it on one of my trees. Once I received the cloth tree wrap that I had intended to order I removed the waxpaper glue wrap and was surprised to see how many insects were trapped on the waxpaper product. Thus if you are wanting to trap a particular bug that is infesting your trees this would work well. The glue is very sticky so be careful not to touch the glue portion any more than needed.

good idea that does not work. the tape is paper, so there is no stretch (tree trunks are not like metal poles,) and the paper tears as you are trying to attach it to itself. It winds up sticking to you fingers and either tearing or wrinkling, so you can't get a tight wrap. I was using this on young trees with a trunk diameter of under 3."I would up having to put flagging tape on the top and bottom, and that still wasn't great, so I will go back to the old method of wrapping with flagging tape and then painting with sticky stuff meant for this. This is about ants, so I really need it tight against the trunk. Maybe it works for larger trees and larger crawly things

Perfect deterrent for caterpillars. They go up to the border and turn around. Very happy with this product.

Catches some bugs, but the glue isn’t super strong and gets messy. Works for light use, not heavy infestations.

This stuff is like magic lantern flies get stuck. It’s almost like there’s bait on it. You will be very impressed. It’s kind of disgusting but it works very very well.

Within 12 hours of wrapping this around our maple tree, we had caught about 50 spotted lantern flies. This is our first summer dealing with this plague and I was very worried about our aging maple (they seem to go for sappy trees) and our 80+ year old oak tree in particular. This product has worked very well!I haven't had a problem catching many beneficial insects or small birds/animals and we have used this on about 5-6 trees in a heavily bird populated yard. I am puzzled how birds could get stuck as another review stated. We wrapped the tape tightly around the tree trunks several feet off the ground and away from any branches. It's a not a spot where birds would be able to land so I don't see any way for them to get stuck. With the tape wrapped tightly at the trunk away from branches, birds are unable to fly close enough to the tape/tree trunk to reach the tape. I haven't found any bees or butterflies stuck in it thankfully. I did find one daddy long-legged spider and a June bug I was able to free. A moth I was not. Many flies. Our neighbor squirrel has not gotten stuck in this to date. I feel this is much safer to use than pesticides while still hopefully preventing devastating loss from invasive insects.PROS: The stickiness does a great job catching insects, it it is much more sticky than something like duct tape or regular double-sided tape and retains it's stickiness after a heavy rain.CONS: While it is easy to unwrap the tape and cut it, if you have a medium-large tree you will find it much easier to wrap with 2 people. One to hold the roll in place while the other rolls it around and cuts.TIPS: Be sure to wrap this tightly around the tree. It works by catching the insects as they crawl up the trunk, and you don't want them having enough space to crawl underneath. You may need to angle the tape a bit to adjust the fit before you join the ends together to hold it in place.If you have an extreme plague like our area of the country currently has, with larger insects like the spotted lantern fly, you may want to put up 2 layers of tape, one above the other. We noticed that the tape will get filled after a few days and the living insects can climb over the dead carcasses of the stuck insects to reach the tree. 2 layers seemed to help catch any insects that made it through the first layer.
