Sticky Cards | 10cm by 25cm are adhesive traps used primarily for monitoring and controlling flying insect pests in agricultural, horticultural, and indoor settings. These cards are coated with a non-drying adhesive to trap pests on contact, helping to identify infestations early and reduce populations. The 10cm x 25cm size offers a practical balance between surface area and portability, ideal for targeted placement in greenhouses, gardens, or storage areas. Key Features & Characteristics of Sticky Cards | 10cm by 25cm: Material: Durable, weather-resistant paper or plastic substrate. Bright yellow or blue colors to attract specific pests (yellow for aphids, whiteflies, fungus gnats; blue for thrips). Adhesive: Non-toxic, high-tack glue that remains sticky for weeks. UV-resistant for outdoor use (prevents rapid degradation in sunlight). Design: Pre-punched holes for easy hanging. Grid markings (optional) to simplify pest counting and monitoring. Eco-Friendly: Chemical-free pest control, safe for organic farming. Applications of Sticky Cards | 10cm by 25cm: Agriculture & Horticulture: Greenhouses: Monitor whiteflies, aphids, leaf miners, and thrips. Fruit/Vegetable Crops: Deploy in orchards, berry farms, or vegetable plots. Indoor Gardens: Control fungus gnats in hydroponic systems or potted plants. Storage & Food Facilities: Trap warehouse moths, grain flies, or stored-product pests. Home Use: Reduce flying insects in kitchens, pantries, or around houseplants. Research & IPM: Track pest populations as part of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. Benefits: Early Detection: Identify pest hotspots before infestations escalate. Non-Chemical Control: Reduce reliance on insecticides. Cost-Effective: Reusable (if laminated) or disposable. Easy Monitoring: Visual tracking of pest types and numbers. Usage Guidelines: Placement: Hang cards just above plant canopy or near entry points (vents, doors). Space cards 3–5 meters apart in greenhouses or fields. Replacement: Replace when 60–70% covered with pests or debris (typically every 2–4 weeks). Tips: Avoid touching the adhesive surface with bare hands (oils reduce stickiness). Use yellow cards for general pests; switch to blue for thrips.
