How to Use

2. Coat the trap surface evenly (about 1/16 inch or 1.6 mm thick).
3. The glue should sit for a few minutes and become evenly tacky before the user sets the trap out.

Cleaning and Recoating

If traps become full of insects or dust, they can be wiped or scraped clean and recoated. This allows traps to work longer and reduces waste.

• Flying Insects: This glue traps whiteflies, fungus gnats, flies, midges and other flying insects that damage plants’ leaves, flowers, and fruit.
