Sticky Traps

You can't manage what you can't see — and sticky traps turn an invisible early infestation into hard data. They're the cheapest, most important tool in your IPM toolkit.

Shop sticky traps for pest monitoring and mass-trapping. Yellow sticky traps reveal whitefly, aphids, fungus gnats, shore flies, and leafminers, while blue traps target thrips — so you catch problems early and time your beneficial releases right.

Why every grower needs sticky traps

Traps tell you which pests are present, where, and whether numbers are climbing or falling. That makes your biocontrol decisions precise and stops outbreaks from sneaking up on you.

How to use them

Hang traps just above the canopy — about one per 1,000–2,000 sq ft for monitoring, more for mass-trapping — near doors and vents, and check and record counts weekly. Remove monitoring traps briefly during parasitoid releases so you don't catch your beneficials.

What's in this collection

Frequently asked questions

What color sticky trap is best for thrips?

Blue traps are most attractive to thrips, though yellow also catches them along with other flying pests.

Do sticky traps actually work?

Yes — they're excellent for monitoring and early detection, and at higher densities help reduce flying-pest numbers.

Where should I place sticky traps?

Just above the crop canopy, spread evenly, near doors and vents, and lowered as plants grow; check them weekly.

Yellow or blue — which do I need?

Yellow for whitefly, aphids, and fungus gnats; blue for thrips. Many growers run both.
