Questions & Answers
can you wrap this around the tree with the glue on the inside versus the outside so it doesn't trap birds? or would it be ineffective
Good afternoon! For the safety of the tree, please ensure that the glue side is placed away from the bark. Placing the glue side on the bark will defeat the purpose of the trap, harm the tree, and make it difficult to remove. If you have birds, consider placing a feeder further away from the trap to avoid any issues.
You can attach chicken wire around the tree. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYGPACsdeBk
Hi JJS369, This product is designed to have the sticky portion facing out rather than in; if it's facing in, a great deal of the sticky surface area will be making contact with tree bark and will not be usable for catching anything.
This form of trapping insects should be outlawed as it is known to kill native birds that are protected by federal law. The birds get stuck to the tape as they are attempting to feed on the insects. Why not just let the birds do their job?
I've never had a bird once get stuck on this tape you should rethink your question! second if the birds did there job in the first place there would be no need for this product so your ignorance is amusing to say the least! BIRDS DO NOT GET STUCK!
Hi JoanP! Thanks for reaching out. This Catchmaster Insect Barrier Tree Banding Shield protects trees from destructive insects like Spotted Lanternflies, cankerworms, fungus gnats, cicadas, and gypsy moths. If the bird gets stuck on the tape we recommend contacting your local veterinarian, certified wildlife rehab specialist, or animal control for assistance. For an organization in your area, please visit the Wildlife Rehabilitation Information Directory at https://wildliferehabinfo.org/. We do not recommend handling any wild animal without consulting professionals at your local Wildlife Control Department or certified wildlife rehab specialists. For more information, please contact us at info@catchmaster.com.
I HAVE NEVER EVER HAD ONE BIRD GET STUCK! Your ignorance is amusing! If the birds did there job in the first place there would be no need for this product, which works REALLY WELL!
Is this strong enough to trap cicadas?
Hello Carol! Catchmaster glue boards/traps come pre-scented and are formulated to work effectively without the need for additional bait. For optimal results, strategically place the glue boards along known or suspected pathways. For more information please contact us at info@catchmaster.com
Why are you carrying a product no longer recommended due to trapping of birds and other beneficial wildlife on the exposed glue surface? Bluebirds and woodpeckers are especially likely to die on this type of glue trap.
Hello Lucy! We have developed that product to remain extremely soft and pliable through a wide range of temperatures and conditions. This allows the surface to act as a barrier to small crawling and flying insects while allowing larger, non-target species like birds and squirrels easily escape. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at info@catchmaster.com. Thank you!
Will the strength of the glue wear off in time or if it gets wet?
Hello Jim, The trap is designed to withstand the elements but it could be possible to wear off depending on how severe the weather is. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact info@catchmaster.com
I haven't actually seen this yet. Are both sides sticky? If only one side is sticky, I presume that goes to the outside to trap the bugs. Therefore, what is the best way to secure the tape to the tree? Thanks for your help!
Thank you for your inquiry. The tree shield insect barrier will contain glue on one side of the strip and it is recommended to overlap the strip when wrapping around the tree, sticky side out, approximately 3 inches to fasten. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact info@catchmaster.com
Will rain wash the insects off the barrier?
Thank you for your inquiry Jill. The rain should not wash off the trapped insects but it may be possible depending on the amount of rain/storm. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact info@catchmaster.com
How high off the ground should trees be wrapped?
Hi Scott, thank you for your inquiry. We recommend wrapping trees at eye level to avoid contact with children. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to us at info@catchmaster.com.
