Your course’s valuable trees no longer have to be weakened and killed by the devastating effects of leaf eating insects. The BugBarrier Tree Band® can effectively protect the trees under your care.
The BugBarrier Tree Band is a pesticide-free, adhesive banding system. Its dense, flexible, fiber barrier is first wrapped around the trunk to fill bark crevices. The adhesive film barrier is then installed over the fiber, with the adhesive side facing the tree. This unique design eliminates unsightly debris and keeps insect carcasses out of sight. Best of all it can be installed in less than five minutes.
This revolutionary band is clean, easy to install and remove, and contains no chemical pesticides or pheromones. University researchers, government entomologists and arborists in the field have tested it and have been successfully using the band. It is so effective that it is required to be EPA registered as a “mechanical pesticide”.
The life cycle of the targeted pest dictates when a tree should be banded. The BugBarrier Tree Band should be applied prior to increased activity up and down the trunk, and removed once activity has ended.
