## Description

Protect fruit and ornamental trees from winter pests with this 1.75m grease band. Natural, poison-free formula is safe for beneficial insects, ideal for organic gardening.

Review: Stick with these. - They work on our apple tree. Within a day, 4 creepy crawlies caught going up. Also anti ant. However you need to follow the instructions and change as indicated - the “stick” does decline over time and with weathering. Don’t leave gaps between the band and bark - tie as tight as possible.
Review: Works a charm, summary of recurring review topics - With the range of views being expressed in reviews I was a little hesitant tk buy this product, but very glad I did. I thought it would be valuable to others to address a few of the recurring themes in other reviews. Stickiness and ease of application: This product is extraordinarily sticky and this will get all over your hands during application. Gloves are absolutely essential and a second pair of (gloves) hands is extremely helpful. We found one person unfolding the band and wrapping around the tree, with another person cutting to length and securing to be the best process. Included twine The included twine might be usable on large trees, but on my small saplings it was absolutely useless. Chuck it before you start and grab a roll of decent electrical tape. This also helps with knobbly trunks as you can bend the band over the bump and secure it top and bottom. This has closed up all of the little gaps allowing ants under the band. Ants crossing the grease: Yes the ants can still cross the grease, it slows them down a fair bit but they make it across. Regardless of this fact the number of ants above the band has reduced from several dozen per day, to a singular ant in the week since. It is definitely discouraging them from crossing, so serves its purpose quite well. I'd be happy to recommend this product to others with ant problems in fruit trees to be used in conjuction with other pest control measures such as water jetting and manual removal of ants (the sticky gloves after applying are brilliant for picking ants off of the leaves)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What exactly is the 'grease'? Is it petroleum jelly? What prevents it from drying out? Which grease bands are double -stick?**
A: I don't know what it is but it lasts until the winter and then I replace it in the spring.

**Q: How do you get the stickiness off your fingers?.  Couldn't do it with gloves on.**
A: On the packages I've received, the manufacturers recommend using vegetable oil to remove the grease from hands. That plus a good rinse with washing up liquid afterwards worked for me. Also the hand wipes you get in DIY stores - for removing silicone etc from hands - do the trick. Otherwise yep avoid it with disposable thin latex gloves, we buy packs when on offer in Lidl and Aldi and keep them in the garage for various messy gardening tasks.

**Q: At what age of the tree should you use grease bands**
A: Hi, 
From research, we can suggest that you use grease bands on trees that are 45cm (18in) above soil level.

**Q: Can this be used on a fence to keep our cats from climbing over?**
A: NO! This is not what it is designed for. A very messy and difficult product to handle. It took me ages to remove it from hands, scissors etc. I think it would be very unwise to use it as you wish. If it gets on your cats fir they could try to lick it of or get in their eyes and on paws with dire consequences. You would have to cut the fir off or take them to the vet. Please find an alternative.
