Description
Fruit tree glue bands provide targeted protection by forming a sticky barrier around the trunk. This helps limit access for crawling pest such as winter moth and ant before they reach branches, buds or fruit.
Fruit tree pest protection for seasonal control
The glue band is wrapped directly around the trunk to interrupt insect movement. It supports garden care throughout the year and can be used during key pest activity periods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this glue band be used on rough bark?
Yes, the adhesive surface can be adjusted to suit uneven or textured bark, helping maintain contact around the trunk.
Is the product suitable for organic growing methods?
Many growers include glue bands as part of organic routines because they rely on a physical barrier rather than pesticide sprays.
How high should the band be placed on the trunk?
It is usually positioned around 50 to 60 cm above ground level to intercept crawling pest before they climb higher.
Will the glue attract beneficial insects?
The band is intended for trunk use only and is less likely to affect flying insects that do not travel along the bark.
Can leftover glue band be stored for later use?
Unused sections can be stored in their original packaging in a cool place to help maintain adhesive quality.
