Prevent caterpillar damage in fruit trees

Caterpillars can cause considerable damage to the leaves, young shoots and fruit of fruit trees. Species such as the winter moth can climb up the trunk and enter the tree canopy. The ECOstyle Glue Band creates a sticky barrier that prevents these insects from passing the trunk.

This helps prevent feeding damage to fruit trees without having to treat the tree with chemical pesticides.

Ants and aphids in fruit trees

Ants can also become an unwanted presence in fruit trees. They often protect aphids because they feed on the sugary honeydew produced by aphids. This can allow aphid populations to spread more easily and damage young leaves and shoots.

By placing a glue band around the trunk of the fruit tree, you can stop ants from climbing up. This gives natural predators such as ladybirds and other beneficial insects more opportunity to naturally control aphids.

How to use the ECOstyle Glue Band

1. Measure the circumference of the trunk and add approximately 3 cm for overlap.

2. Measure the required length of the glue band and unfold it with the sticky side facing outwards.

3. Wrap the glue band around the trunk at a height of approximately 1 metre.

4. Secure the glue band with the supplied string.

5. If there is a tree stake next to the tree, also apply a glue band to the stake to prevent insects from bypassing the barrier.

Regularly check that the glue band is still properly attached and that leaves, branches or other materials are not creating a bridge for insects to cross.
