Re: Found a youtube video that shows the yellow sticky aphid tapes

[Guest guest]

Sticky traps like that usually have an attractant on them, and it usually smells

horrid-like rotten peanut butter. They are great to tuck in the back of a

cabinet, but again, you risk ATTRACTING bugs that you didn't already have.

Things like those should be used to CONTROL an existing problem, not to try to

prevent one, otherwise, the bugs are drawn to the scent of the trap itself. You

can easily make a non attractant trap by using some two sided tape, or doubling

over a piece of packing tape so you have sticky facing up, and a sticky part

facing down so you can attach it to the inside of a cabinet, under a shelf,

windows, etc. Melody, you would be better off using some plain tape and just

one or two of your vinegar funnels, otherwise you inviting every gnat in

Brooklyn to your house-and that is a video I DONT want to see, lol
