Amarillo Fly Trap

Amarillo Fly Trap: Non-Toxic, Water-Based Insect Trapping Adhesive

 

Amarillo Fly Trap is a unique, high-performance, water-based adhesive product designed specifically for the preparation of yellow, sticky trapping surfaces in a variety of agricultural, horticultural, and livestock environments. Unlike traditional chemical treatments, this product is formulated to be non-toxic and pesticide-free, making it an ideal tool for use in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs, particularly in greenhouses, orchards, and animal containment areas.

The Mechanics of Mass Trapping

 

The bright yellow color of the dried adhesive layer is strategically utilized to attract a wide spectrum of flying insect pests, which are then permanently trapped on the non-drying, highly sticky surface. This product is critical for:

• Monitoring and Scouting: Providing a clear, reliable indicator of pest presence and population density.

• Mass Trapping: Effectively reducing pest populations, especially in closed environments like greenhouses.

Amarillo Fly Trap is highly effective against common, difficult-to-control insects, including Whiteflies, Houseflies, Fruit Flies, Western Flower Thrips, Moths, Horse-flies, and many others.

Advanced and Durable Formulation

 

Amarillo Fly Trap is a proprietary formulation composed primarily of synthetic elastomers and resins suspended in a water base (a non-dilutable, ready-to-use product). Key advantages of this advanced adhesive include:

• High Rainfastness: Once applied and set, it is highly resistant to being washed off by rainfall or irrigation, ensuring long-lasting effectiveness outdoors.

• Extended Efficacy: Maintains its high stickiness for an extended period, typically lasting 3 to 6 months in protected environments (e.g., greenhouses).

• Flexible Application: It can be applied easily by spraying, brushing, or rolling onto any smooth, non-absorbent surface, such as polyethylene sheets, plastic panels, or cardboard.

• Easy Renewal: The trapping surface can be effortlessly renewed by applying a fresh layer of Amarillo Fly Trap directly over the previous, insect-covered layer.

This sprayable adhesive provides a practical, safe, and environmentally conscious method for effective flying insect management.
