Rollertrap Yellow or blue sticky PE ribbon

When to use Rollertrap

Use Rollertrap to trap white fly, leaf-miner, aphid, thrips and fungus gnats in spots with a great pest pressure or areas in the greenhouse where a high pest pressure is expected, for example along gables, ventilation windows and (other) draughty places.

How does Rollertrap work?

Pests are attracted to the yellow or blue colour of the sticky ribbon and get caught in the glue.

How to use Rollertrap

Application Rollertrap

Before hanging up, make sure the Rollertraps are at least at room temperature. The glue will be softer and the traps will unroll easier.

Instructions for usage:

• Place Rollertrap in areas where high pest pressure is expected, such as gables, ventilation windows and places of draft.
• Rollertrap should be hung above the crop when the crop is still low. In ornamental crops you can use ROLLERTRAP year round. In tall crops such as cucumber, tomato and pepper, the best time for placement is either just before or after the first planting.
• Attach the Rollertrap to crop wires, greenhouse poles, or other supportive structures.
• Place the Rollertrap approximately 25 cm above the crop for the small Rollertrap and 40 cm for large Rollertrap
• To assist with placement, insert a rod or other expedient through the center opening of the roll which will allow the Rollertrap to spin freely while unrolling.
• At the beginning and end of each run, cut the trap approximately 40 cm longer than the support structure. Wrap the extra around the support and secure with staples or clips. It may be necessary to secure the Rollertrap mid run to provide additional support.
• It is recommended to replace the Rollertrap after five months.
• For additional recommendations and rates, contact your local Koppert Biological Systems representative.

Best working conditions Rollertrap

Rollertraps should preferably be installed when the crop is still low. When it comes to ornamental crops, you can use the Rollertraps basically year-round, but with vegetable crops you best install them after the first planting or just before planting. It is advised to use one Rollertrap per two or three greenhouse bays and depending on the pest pressure (to be expected) choose small or large Rollertraps.
