ResponseThe glue is 100% plant-compatible and can therefore also be used on berry bushes or other ornamental shrubs to keep crawling pests away.

ResponseYes, the crawling glue is ideal for prevention. It forms a barrier on the trunk that effectively prevents pests such as pear bud borers and winter moths from crawling up.

ResponseFor protection against winter moths, which are typically active in autumn/winter, you should apply the glue before their infestation period. The effect of the glue on the tree lasts about six months.

ResponseThe glue is 100% plant-compatible. It can therefore be used without hesitation on young or sensitive trees.

ResponseYes, the glue has been dyed green to protect beneficial insects. As a crawling glue, it only catches insects that actively crawl into it, while beneficial insects like bees can escape.

ResponseA 500g can of caterpillar glue is enough for a 10 cm high and 2 mm thick ring on about 2 to 2.5 meters of tree circumference. With a tree circumference of 60-80 cm, you can treat about 3-4 trees with it (roughly calculated: 500g covers about 2.5 meters of circumference at 10cm height and 2mm layer thickness).

ResponseThe glue is formulated as a creeping glue that adapts well to the surface structure of the trunk and fills cracks. For 100% catchability, it is important to apply a continuous layer of at least 2 mm thickness. Especially with ants, the glue ring should be at least 10 cm high.

ResponseYes, the creeping glue is weatherproof. It retains its protective effect over a long period of time, even in changing weather conditions.

ResponseThe glue is 100% plant-compatible and designed to be gentle on beneficial insects. It leaves no harmful residue on the tree and does not affect its health.

ResponseThe WF-979592 is a crawling glue that specifically catches insects that crawl up the trunk. This product does not offer protection against snails, as they are not among the target insects.

ResponseYes, although 'Birnen-Knospenstecher' is in the product name, the crawling glue is universally applicable against crawling pests on all fruit trees and other woody plants. It is 100% plant-compatible.
Kunde

ResponseYes, the glue is effective against ants, as they protect and spread aphid colonies. For ants, it is recommended to apply a ring of at least 10 cm with a layer thickness of 2 mm.

ResponseThe natural glue is made from renewable raw materials and is harmless to the bark. It weathers away on its own within half a year, dries and is partially absorbed by the plant. Residues can be sprinkled with sand and scraped off.

ResponseYes, the creeping glue forms a physical barrier on the trunk. It prevents existing or newly arriving crawling pests from further ascending the tree.
Sabine

ResponseThe glue is designed to prevent bridging by trapped insects or leaves and maintains its 100% catch rate. Cleaning is not necessary during the period of effectiveness of about six months. Only after drying and weathering is the glue sprinkled with sand and scraped off.
Gartenbesitzer

ResponseThe glue is weatherproof and remains reliably attached to the tree trunk even in stronger winds.

ResponseYes, the glue is compostable and can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way in the compost after use.

ResponseThe glue is formulated to be gentle on beneficial insects. This means it is designed to affect the environment and non-target animals as little as possible, as it primarily serves as a physical barrier.
Kunde

ResponseYes, the caterpillar glue can be applied directly to the tree trunk. The belt paper is optional for self-production of glue rings if you do not want direct application.

ResponseThe glue is designed as a crawling glue and is effective against all crawling pests that climb up the trunk, such as the species mentioned in the product name.

ResponseThe WF-979592 is made from renewable raw materials, compostable and worm-friendly. After weathering, the rest of the glue can be sprinkled with sand and scraped off.

ResponseDue to its weather-resistant properties, the glue offers long-lasting protection. It does not need to be reapplied after every rain and remains effective.
Kunde
07 FebKundendienst
ResponseThe glue can be applied directly to the tree trunk. As a creeping glue, it also adapts well to uneven bark and forms a continuous barrier. Pay attention to a minimum layer thickness of 2 mm, especially for ants, to ensure 100% catchability.

ResponseThe caterpillar glue is a natural glue made from renewable raw materials that weathers on the tree over time. It dries after about half a year and is then partially absorbed by the plant. Any residue can be sprinkled with sand and then scraped off the trunk without damaging the bark.

ResponseNo, the caterpillar glue is developed to be gentle on beneficial insects, so that bees and other beneficial insects are not affected.

ResponseThe caterpillar glue is intended for fruit trees and deciduous trees. In principle, it can also be used on bushes with suitable stem areas, as it is applied directly to the bark. Make sure you have a sufficient, 10 cm high and 2 mm thick layer to effectively ward off pests.
Verunsichert V.

ResponseYou don't have to worry; the glue is 100% plant-compatible and does not harm the tree with direct application.

ResponseYes, the glue is 100% plant-compatible, gentle on beneficial insects, and also compostable. These properties make it ideal for use in natural or organically managed gardens.

The only natural glue made from renewable resources. Compostable and earthworm-friendly.
Green-colored caterpillar glue for direct application to tree trunks, for the aftercare of glue rings, and—in conjunction with the caterpillar glue belt paper—for making your own glue rings. The green color protects beneficial insects.
Tested by the Lower Saxony Forestry Research Institute, the Offenburg Agricultural Office, and fruit growers.
Brunonia caterpillar glue is a penetrating glue. Only insects that crawl into the glue are caught. Other insects (e.g., beneficial insects looking for a landing site) are released. Unlike adhesive glues, which immediately adhere insects (including beneficial insects!) or leaves, this prevents the formation of bridges by trapped insects or leaves (catchability: 100%).
For controlling all insects that crawl along the trunk:
- Winter moth (Operhophtera brumata) – one of the most important fruit pests
- Ants (Lasius sp. and others) – protect and spread aphid colonies
- Aphids (Eriosoma lanigerum) – cause blood cancer, thereby reducing frost resistance
- Hazel bud borer (Curculio nucum) – can lead to high harvest losses
- Bark beetles (Xyleborus dispar and others) – found on many tree species
- Snow moth (Apocheima pilosaria) – pest on various deciduous trees, including fruit trees
- Black cherry aphid (Myzus cerasi, M. prunavium) – initial infestation is reduced
The glue's effect on the tree lasts for about half a year. An opened can, if tightly sealed, will last for about 5-6 years.
The glue will weather over time - after about half a year, it will have dried out (depending on the weather) and will then be partially absorbed by the plant over time. Sprinkle some sand over the remaining glue. The glue can then be scraped off the trunk.
Gardener's Tip:
Since ants can walk over the glue more easily than caterpillars due to their "clumsy" gait, the glue ring should be at least 10 cm high and have a minimum layer thickness of 2 mm.
