The installation and selection of Bugs-Trap Rolls in glass greenhouses is an important part of ensuring the healthy growth of greenhouse crops and reducing the use of chemical pesticides. The following mainly explains some knowledge about Bugs-Trap Rolls in greenhouses.

‌1. Selection criteria for Bugs-Trap Rolls

Material and durability

Anti-aging: The greenhouse environment is hot and humid, and UV-resistant and corrosion-resistant composite materials (such as PPE materials) must be selected to avoid breakage or glue layer shedding after long-term use.

Stickiness and durability The glue coating amount of high-quality Bugs-Trap Rolls per square meter should be ≥70 grams to ensure that the glue does not significantly weaken within one year and maintain efficient trapping ability.

Insect targeting

Color classification

Yellow Bugs-Trap Rolls target yellow-trending pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and leafhoppers, and are suitable for most greenhouse crops.

Blue Bugs-Trap Rolls target blue-trending pests such as thrips, and need to be used alone or in combination according to the type of greenhouse pests.

Double-sided glue coating design can improve the trapping efficiency. The glue layer must be uniform and free of bubbles to prevent pests from escaping.

Environmental protection and safety

Choose non-toxic, non-polluting environmentally friendly glue to avoid harm to crops or operators.

Bugs-Trap Rolls should be degradable or easy to recycle to reduce agricultural waste pollution.

2. Bugs-Trap Rolls installation method

Preparation before installation

The environment requires the installation temperature to be controlled at 20℃-40℃ to ensure that the glue layer is soft and easy to unfold.

Tools to prepare yellow belt clips, iron wire, scissors, tape measure, gloves (avoid glue contact with skin).

Installation steps

Fix Bugs-Trap Rolls clips

Arrange along the length of the greenhouse cultivation rack, with a distance of 3-5 meters between clips to ensure uniform coverage.

Use yellow belt clips to fix Bugs-Trap Rolls on the steel wire of the planting trough to avoid direct contact with doors and windows (to prevent attracting external pests).

Adjust the hanging height

Initial height: The lower edge of the Bugs-Trap Rolls is 10-15 cm from the top of the plant.

Dynamic adjustment: Raise the height regularly as the crop grows to ensure that the Bugs-Trap Rolls are always above the crop canopy.

Hanging direction and angle

The Bugs-Trap Rolls face the east-west direction, using natural light to enhance the insect trapping effect.

Keep it hanging vertically to avoid tilting to cause uneven glue layer or dust accumulation.

Post-installation inspection

Confirm that the Bugs-Trap Rolls have no wrinkles or damage, and the glue layer has no bubbles or detachment.

Record the installation position and height for later maintenance and replacement.

3. Use and maintenance of Bugs-Trap Rolls

Use cycle

Replace every 1-3 months according to the pest density and the state of the Bugs-Trap Roll glue layer.

If the surface of the Bugs-Trap Rolls is covered with more than 80% of pests or the glue layer loses its stickiness, it needs to be replaced immediately.

Data monitoring

Regularly count the types and numbers of pests on Bugs-Trap Rolls and analyze the occurrence patterns of pests.

Combined with other monitoring methods (such as insect traps and sex attractants), formulate a comprehensive prevention and control strategy.

Coordinate with other measures

Combined with insect nets, insecticidal lamps, biological control and other means to form a multi-level prevention and control system.

Avoid using strong wind equipment near Bugs-Trap Rolls to prevent pests from escaping or Bugs-Trap Rolls from falling off.
