Why Use
There are three common species of winter moths and they all lay eggs in trees over winter. The eggs hatch out into caterpillars which feed on young leaves and fruit in spring. Growing Success Glue Bands form a sticky barrier against wingless female moths, which climb trees in autumn to mate and lay their eggs. This prevents egg-laying and consequent damage from caterpillars. Ants climb trees to farm blackfly and greenfly, collecting a sugar-like substance as food to take back to the ant nest. The ants protect the aphids from friendly predators including ladybirds and lacewing by spraying the aphids with formic acid. Growing Success Glue Bands are coated on one side with non-drying adhesive glue to trap crawling pests. The green colour is not attractive to beneficial insects.
