Sticky Traps
What are sticky traps used for?
Wet-sticky traps are used to trap flying insects and are useful for indicating the presence of pests. Yellow traps are particularly useful for attracting sciarids, shoreflies, aphids, whitefly and leafminers and will also trap thrips. The blue traps are more attractive to thrips, hence the two colours. Such traps are also useful for picking up signs of pest invasion into a greenhouse from doors or vents. For weekly monitoring of pests, we recommend a different trap, the dry-sticky TAKITRAP, which has 4 removable panels.
What types of sticky trap are available?
Syngenta Bioline supplies two types of wet-sticky traps: panel traps and roller traps in blue or yellow. The glue is on both sides of the plastic trap, and is of the wet-sticky type. The large size of these traps offers maximum sticky surface and they are the most economical traps to buy. They are best hung free floating in the air space above plants. The strips are made of firm, but flexible Polyethylene for long life. There are three holes on each strip to facilitate fixing of the strips to string, nails or surfaces.

How are sticky traps used?
The height at which the trap is hung in relation to the crop canopy will affect the number of insects caught. A trap can be left in position for several weeks. If it becomes full of insects, then its efficiency at trapping will decline. At this point the trap should be changed. Identification of the insects requires experience and training. Please contact a field representative changed. Identification of the insects requires experience and training. Please contact a field representative of Syngenta Bioline or the technician of our distributor for assistance in this matter.

Instructions for use
Panel traps:
Remove traps from outer bag, peel apart rapidly to avoid the formation of “strings” and suspend in the crop just above the plant canopy (about 30cm). Adjust the position of the traps as the crop grows.
Roller traps:
Warm up before use. See instructions on reverse side of this sheet.
Storage and transport
Avoid extremes of temperature and store in a cool dark room in the original packing.
Takitraps
What are Takitraps used for?
TAKITRAPS are dry-sticky traps used to trap flying insects and are used for monitoring pests over a fixed time period. Yellow traps are particularly useful for attracting aphids, whitefly and leafminers and will also trap thrips. The blue traps are more attractive to thrips, hence the two colours. Such traps are also useful for picking up signs of pest invasion into a greenhouse from doors or vents and for monitoring population fluctuations over time. The dry-sticky TAKITRAP is double-sided with 4 removable panels (2 on each side) to monitor pests over a 4 week period.
What types of Takitrap® are available?
Syngenta Bioline supplies a standard TAKITRAP of 10cm x 25cm in blue or yellow. The traps are available as packs of 10 traps, or in boxes of 120 packs (1200 traps). The glue is on both sides of the plastic trap, and is of the dry-sticky or “tacky” type, which is convenient to work with, leaving no residues on fingers. The small size of these traps offers enough sticky surface for monitoring, and the traps can be spread around the greenhouse to detect different pests in critical positions. They are best hung free floating in the air space above plants. The strips are made of firm, but flexible Polyethylene for long life. There is a row of holes at the end of each strip to facilitate fixing of the strips to string, nails or surfaces, and each pack comes with twist-ties to fix the trap to any structure.
