Etisso LacBalsam Caterpillar and Ant Glue Band

ETISSO LacBalsam® Caterpillars & Ants Glue Ring – Insecticide-Free Barrier for Tree Trunks

The LacBalsam® Caterpillars & Ants Glue Ring reliably stops crawling tree pests – completely insecticide-free. It prevents pests from reaching the crown via the trunk (e.g., winter moth females for egg-laying) and also stops the up-and-down migration of ants, which "protect" aphids and thus promote aphid infestation. The green coloring helps to protect beneficial insects, as they are less attracted by the color.

Product Highlights

• Stops tree pests with a mechanical barrier

• Insecticide-free

• Protects beneficial insects due to green coloring

• With practical binding wire for fixing to the trunk

• Can be used all year round

How it works

• Against winter moths & leaf-eating caterpillars: Flightless females are prevented from climbing up → no egg-laying in the crown, less caterpillar feeding on leaves, blossoms, and fruits.

• Against ants: Ants are stopped at the trunk → they can no longer reach aphids as easily → aphid infestation is indirectly reduced.

Application

• Timing

  • Against ants & other insects: Start in early spring (after the frost period)

  • Against winter moth females: Apply in late September (hatching usually early-mid October)

• How to apply the glue ring

  1. Choose a smooth spot on the trunk at a height of 60–80 cm

  2. Cut the strip to fit the trunk circumference + approx. 5 cm

  3. Place around the trunk with the adhesive side facing outwards

  4. Partially peel off the protective film, stick down the end, then completely remove the film

  5. Fix at the top & bottom with binding wire so that the ring fits snugly

  6. Important for support poles: also attach a glue ring there below the connection (otherwise "alternative route")

Inspection & Replacement

• Special adhesive does not dry out and is not washed off

• Check the adhesive layer after frost periods

• Replace if:

  • heavily soiled or

  • largely covered with pests

• Remove leaves as soon as they stick to the glue (otherwise "bridges" will form)

Safety, Storage, Disposal

• P102: Keep out of reach of children

• Store in a cool, dry, frost-free place and under lock and key

• Dispose of used strips with household waste or recycle

With the LacBalsam® Glue Ring, you protect fruit and ornamental trees completely without insecticides – cleanly, easily, and effectively. Once properly applied, the tree crown is quickly and significantly better protected against caterpillar and ant infestation.
