Yellow and Blue Sticky Traps for Crop Monitoring

Yellow and Blue Sticky Traps provide a practical way to monitor flying insects throughout the crop cycle. They can be positioned above the crop or between plants, depending on the crop and the target pest.

The bright colours attract different types of flying insects, while the adhesive surface captures them for easy visual monitoring. Regular inspection helps growers identify changes in pest activity and supports an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy.

Yellow Sticky Traps

Yellow Sticky Traps are widely used for monitoring a range of flying pests in greenhouse and indoor cultivation. Their bright yellow surface attracts insects, making them useful for detecting pest activity at an early stage.

They are particularly suitable for use throughout the crop and can be easily suspended or positioned close to the plants.

Best suited for:

• Whiteflies
• Fungus gnats
• Winged aphids
• Leafminers
• Shore flies
• General monitoring of flying pests

Blue Sticky Traps

Blue Sticky Traps are particularly useful for thrips monitoring, as several sources report that thrips, especially western flower thrips, can be more attracted to blue than to yellow. Blue traps therefore provide a more targeted monitoring option when thrips are the main concern

Best suited for:

• Thrips
• Especially western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis)

Purpose: Targeted thrips monitoring – useful when thrips pressure is a particular concern.

Using different trap colours according to the target pest and crop situation can help growers obtain a clearer picture of insect activity.

Easy to use in Integrated Pest Management

Sticky traps are an important monitoring tool within Integrated Pest Management (IPM). They help growers observe pest populations without complicated installation or equipment.

For reliable monitoring, place traps strategically throughout the crop and inspect them regularly. Replace traps when the adhesive surface becomes covered with insects, dust or crop debris.

Hortus Supplies offers sticky traps in different colours and sizes for professional horticultural applications.

Sticky traps are an important tool within Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and can be used alongside other crop protection and biological solutions.

• Crop Protection & Disinfection
• Organic and Natural Crop Care & Solutions

Sticky traps are commonly used as part of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), where regular monitoring helps growers make informed crop protection decisions.
