An efficient way to protect fruit trees from insect pests. Vitax Tree Bands protect fruit and ornamental trees against winter moth caterpillars, ants and crawling insects like earwigs. Pesticide-free and non-hazardous, these bands are treated with a non-drying adhesive that effectively traps pests before they can lay eggs and cause damage. Ideal for organic gardening. Apply in early autumn and keep in place until early spring for best results. Re-apply May to September to help trap earwigs, ants and other crawling insects. Simply secure the bands well above ground on the smoothest part of the trunk – ensure it is clean and free from loose bark or moss first. One 4-metre length is sufficient to protect 10–12 average-sized fruit trees. Can also be used around supporting tree posts.
