TREE COLLAR - RAMPASTOP® KIT Protecta

• Tree collar based on glue against ants and earwigs.
• Physical barrier preventing pests from climbing into the aerial parts of the tree.
• Does not dirty the bark of trees.

Transparent glue composed of poly and isobutenes

Use

• For preventive control which helps to avoid invasions of crawling insect pests such as:
• Ants - carrying aphids and thus energizing colonies.
• Aphids - directly contributing to the general weakening of the infested tree.
• Earwigs that cut into stone fruits at the end of ripening.
• Defoliating caterpillars and other crawling insects feeding on young stems/leaves.

1. First, wrap the moss around the trunk (at least 40 cm from the ground), stretch, secure with two pins and cut off the excess.
2. Then, do the same with the green mesh, avoiding overlapping in the same place.
3. Once in place, the collar is ready to be glued. Apply two lines of glue, in order to create a better barrier against ants.
4. .At the point where the foam strip overlaps, check that there is no way for ants to pass through; in this case, apply a few drops of glue to block their passage.
5. Check once a month that the collar is not saturated with insects.
6. Reapply glue if necessary.

• avoid the presence of tall grass or low branches, which would create passages for insects to reach the upper parts of the tree without going through the trunk.
• Collar life: until saturated by insects; if necessary, the collar can be reglued using the glue tube.

Packaging:

• 2 x 2 m collar kit (moss + mesh)
