Olson Garden Guard Sticky Ribbon

No, this product is not intended for tree banding. The adhesive is designed for monitoring and trapping flying insects in gardens and greenhouses, not for wrapping around tree trunks.

Many flying pests, such as whiteflies, aphids, and fungus gnats, are naturally attracted to the specific yellow hue of the ribbon. This visual lure draws them to the adhesive surface, making it an effective passive monitoring tool.

Yes, the Olson Garden Guard is a non-toxic, chemical-free solution. However, because the surface is very sticky, you should place it in areas where pets or children are unlikely to accidentally touch it.

The ribbon comes in a heavy-duty plastic flange dispenser, which allows you to easily pull and cut the length you need. You can string it between stakes to create a perimeter barrier or cut smaller strips to hang near specific plants for localized monitoring.

No, this is a single-use product. Once the adhesive surface is covered with pests or debris, you should dispose of the strip and replace it with a fresh length of ribbon.
