Which treatment for which pest?

A description of pests and suitable treatments is available on our dedicated wiki page.

All our solutions have been tested, and when used according to our recommendations they do not harm fish.

1. Yellow sticky traps

Installing sticky traps in the greenhouse is recommended all year round. The aim is to trap and detect flying pests. This is not a pest control method, but an observation tool that allows you to act appropriately.

📘

Instructions for use

1. Hang the trap high up (between 1,5 and 2 m) using the attachment provided. It can be fixed to a tube of the irrigation system or to the support bar of the growing towers.
2. Remove the protective paper from each side of the trap.
3. Replace the traps regularly for maximum effectiveness.

❕The traps are water-resistant and biodegradable.

Technical information

• Mode of action: sticky traps trap winged insects thanks to their adhesive surface. The yellow colour of the traps attracts pests because it resembles the colour of seedlings / young plants (yellow/light green). Pests land on the surface of the sticky traps to feed, but remain trapped there.
• Packaging: pack of 10 traps 25x10 cm
• Dose: 1 trap covers approximately 10 m² (1 trap for the City; 2 traps for the Family)
• Temperature conditions: no special conditions.
• When should it be used?: all year round.
• Product effectiveness: sticky traps are effective for 2 months in autumn-winter and 3 weeks in spring-summer. They must be replaced regularly.
• Storage: keep in the packaging in a cool, dry place to avoid affecting quality.
