Arable Acres Sticky Insect Traps

STICKY TRAPS, STICKY ROLLS, AND OTHER CROP PROTECTION TOOLS

Farming requires diligence, attention to detail, and a long list of operating procedures to ensure the desired results come to fruition and avoidable pitfalls don’t enter the equation.  An important step in crop protection is defense and monitoring/scouting for problems.  Much like how annual doctors’ visits pre-screen for preventative purposes, sticky traps, monitoring cards, and other defensive measures ensure detection of pests early and allow a remedy before it is too late.

Arable Acres manufactures high-quality sticky cards, tapes, and traps for detection, trapping, and early notification.  Their card stock and tapes hold up in adverse weather conditions and demanding agricultural settings.  They are waterproof and mold resistant. 

When selecting the correct product for your crop, we suggest following the following guidelines.  Be sure the size fits your demand.  Greenhouse and field-grown crops often rely on sticky rolls due to their ability to monitor long stretches and act as perimeter protection. 

Indoor growers, greenhouse growers, and even outdoor growers typically use traps for specific locations such as top of the crop or under canopy where rolls are cumbersome.  Additionally, monitoring cards come with a grid pattern to estimate vector size.  This provides further information to the grower regarding pest pressure and potential impact on crop yield/quality.

In many instances we have seen farms eliminate labor, conserve sprays, and protect crops by knowing when not to spray.  By understanding the pest pressure in real time and calculating population growth against harvest date farms can stay informed regarding expected impact and crop loss.  Often it’s better to finish out a cycle rather than pay to spray.

Many growers view traps as a waste of money and an unnecessary expense, but when used correctly they mitigate loss and lead to more consistency of outcome.   Below are some common CROP PROTECTION products for commercial crop producers.  They all meet our internal requirements of offering the correct pheromone for the indicated pest, enhanced stickiness, long-lasting and weatherproof materials, commercial packaging, and industry leading price.

Arable Acres Sticky Insect Traps come in many sizes and styles to combat different pests and protect various crop types throughout the growing cycle.
