LADYBUG WINDOW TRAP
PRODUCT NAME: Ladybug Window Traps.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Light metal trap which is used in windows where
ladybugs tend to accumulate. The trap measures 10.5 inches wide,
1 inch deep and 3 inches tall. It has the following parts:
Part A: Window Trap Body which houses the Glue Pad.
Part B: Double stick pad which mounts to Trap "A" and window.
Part C: Double sided glue pad which rests inside Window Trap "A"
and does the "catching".
Part D: Two pack of Ladybug Pheromones.
To use the trap, first pull one side of paper off the double stick
pad "B" and attach to one side of Trap "A". Next, remove the second
piece of paper tape from pad "B" and attach to the glass of a
window which is attracting ladybugs. Locate the Trap along the
bottom of the window preferably in one corner like pictured.
You are now ready to load the Window Trap "A" with Pheromone "D"
and it's Glue Pad "C". First, remove a Pheromone "D" from the
two pack. Place one inside the Window Trap "A" trying to keep it
centered. Next, gently pull one side of the protective paper off
the Glue Pad "C" and place into Window Trap "A". You will find
the pad is slightly taller then the trap so that you must curl
the bottom before you slide it in. This curl is important
since it will catch ladybugs so be sure to curl it evenly. If
done right, the Glue Pad "C" fits snugly and evenly into Window
Trap "A" forming a 'J' shape in the bottom of the trap.
Since the Glue Pad "C" has glue on both sides, there is a chance
you will be able to get to use both sides. Since the glue will
dry in 1-2 months, you need to start checking it to make sure
it is still sticky. Once it's dry, remove the glue pad and
cover it with either the paper you remove from the back side
or some wax paper. You can then place it back into the Window
Trap with the fresh glue side up and get another 1-2 months
from the same pad. If there are too many bugs trapped on it
it may be better to just throw it away and start new. Each
case will be different but be sure not to get glue all over
the Window Trap since this will make a mess. If the Window
Trap does get glue on it, use a little vegetable oil to
remove it.
The Pheromone needs to be replaced about every 1-2 months and
will be effective even though it is placed below the glue.
Try not to handle it when placing it in the Window Trap as
human oils and contaminants will take away from it's overall
effectiveness and lasting ability.
TARGET PESTS: Ladybugs, flies, wasps and other window pests.
WHERE TO USE IT: Windows.
RATE OF APPLICATION: Try to place at least one trap in the
lower or upper corner of any window which tends to have
ladybug activity. This is usually a window facing the
south, west or east. In any one room, you might find
all windows need a trap and in other parts of the home
you might not need any. The more traps out the better the
impact. Be sure to replace gluepads as they fill which
could happen weekly. Pheromones can last 1-2 months and
should be used for this time period even if you are
changing out glue pads.
PACKAGING AND COST: Each trap includes one glue pad,
two pheromones, and the Window Trap Body. (ITEM # 826306)
