Horiver Sticky Cards | 10cm by 25cm

Description

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:

1. 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).

2. Adhesive:

   • Non-toxic, high-tack glue that remains sticky for weeks.

   • UV-resistant for outdoor use (prevents rapid degradation in sunlight).

3. Design:

   • Pre-punched holes for easy hanging.

   • Grid markings (optional) to simplify pest counting and monitoring.

4. Eco-Friendly:

   • Chemical-free pest control, safe for organic farming.

 Applications of Sticky Cards | 10cm by 25cm:

1. 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.

2. Storage & Food Facilities:

   • Trap warehouse moths, grain flies, or stored-product pests.

3. Home Use:

   • Reduce flying insects in kitchens, pantries, or around houseplants.

4. 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:

1. Placement:

   • Hang cards just above plant canopy or near entry points (vents, doors).

   • Space cards 3–5 meters apart in greenhouses or fields.

2. Replacement:

   • Replace when 60–70% covered with pests or debris (typically every 2–4 weeks).

3. Tips:

   • Avoid touching the adhesive surface with bare hands (oils reduce stickiness).

   • Use yellow cards for general pests; switch to blue for thrips.
