Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE The Spotted Lanternfly Barrier Strip is an environmentally-friendly product that keeps spotted lanternflies and their eggs within reach when used as directed. Our product eliminates by-catch issues with sticky tape and the negative impacts of chemical-based insecticides. The Spotted Lanternfly Barrier Strip is designed to work with vegetable oil or mineral oil (not provided) that user must apply to the absorbent cotton wick. As lanternflies climb onto the saturated wick, the oil will cling their tarsal claws, which makes the barrier strip nearly impossible for them to climb across. https://youtu.be/-Zc6RHhc7Wc - Replaces gross sticky tape and/or smelly collection bags that are quickly filled with dead pests. - Installs quickly and easily with nano-adhesive sticky pads. - Consists of a reusable plastic barrier strip for years of service and a replaceable absorbent cotton wick. Both are 12 feet long. - The barrier strip has a smooth surface and overhanging “petals” that lanternflies cannot jump, crawl, or fly across from the trunk below. - Low maintenance; reapply the recommended oil as needed for maximum effectiveness. - Includes complimentary double-sided nano-adhesive attachment pads (4), zip ties (4), and an application bottle for easy application of recommended, user-supplied oils. Additional benefits of user-supplied oils: Many plant-based oils are listed as minimum-risk insecticides that "pose little to no risk to human health or the environment" and have been exempted from having to be registered under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act. https://www.epa.gov/minimum-risk-pesticides Vegetable oils such as canola oil and olive oil in List 4a - Minimal Risk Inert Ingredients, contain oleic acid that may act as a natural insecticidal soap. https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2015-10/documents/inerts_list4aname.pdf https://blogs.k-state.edu/kansasbugs/2020/06/12/fundamentals-of-using-soaps-as-insecticides/ Insecticidal soap is chemical free, environmentally safe, and a “reduced toxicity insecticide option” listed for use against Spotted Lanternfly (see table 6 of the following). https://extension.psu.edu/spotted-lanternfly-management-guide Note: Ready-to-use (RTU) Insecticidal soap spray, widely used in organic gardening, may be used to control pests on or below our barrier strip. However, RTU products are mostly water, quickly dry-out, and will not provide the amount of oil needed to saturate the absorbent wick.
