Insect Traps

 

Trappit® yellow ‘sticky’ traps For controlling Whiteflies and European Wasp infestations. I have found a very low off-target kill and these have got to be the best alternative to spraying insects with toxic sprays in the vegetable garden.  A packet of 5 strips posted anywhere in Australia. $11.00 per pack of 5 mailed to anywhere in Australia, and only A$12.00 posted to New Zealand (no GST).

 

Magnet® Codling Moth trap kit. The perfect way to control codling moth in small orchards or monitor spread where you have more than three trees.  They work with a simple insect pheromone that attracts the male Codling Moths and impales them on a sticky pad, before they can mate with a female. So no fertile females… no codling moth eggs that hatch to reveal destructive codling larvae inside your apples and pears. One kit contains the little hanging trap, 5 pheromone lures and 5 sticky inserts that are best hung in Oct-Nov and replaced in Feb-March when Codling Moths are on the wing in Adelaide area. Other areas may vary. Priced at just $39.10 per kit mailed to anywhere in Australia.

Trappit® Barrier Glue. Comes as a syringe that you apply to the trunk of a tree or rose stem to prevent insects such as ants and weevils from travelling up into the canopy from leaf litter beneath your plants. Effective control for a wide range of mobile insects and the glue stays just as sticky when it’s wet. The solvent to get it off your hands is methylated spirits. Cost per 175ml tube is $13.80 mailed to anywhere in Australia, less when part of an order.

Recent research has shown that these yellow sticky traps attract aphids and whiteflies, where as previously it was thought that the colour blue attracted aphids while yellow proved a fatal attraction for white flies. It now seems one yellow does all.
