How do you guys set up your yellow sticky traps?

[Keith]

I bought some for ipm but can’t really find much googling it. I know it’s not super important, just get them in there.  But does anyone have any spots they put then or things they do with them that they think works well?

I use fabric pots and I run them along the inside top when I get home I’ll take a picture for you and I also put them around vent holes.

[Keith]

Thank you.  I didn’t see this reply earlier.

I always had a problem with these. The large cards always made a huge mess, stuck to everything.. then I found these! So much better guys, three little 1×3″ pieces that come with sticks you can put right in soil. I’ll never use the big cards after finding these. After about a month I got the to dissappear. There like 7.99 on Amazon.

You put them together like so.

[Keith]

And then you just stick it in the soil?  Mine kinda look like that but a bit bigger.

[Atom]

Yep a bit away from stem. You have gnats I take it?

[Keith]

No I don’t have any, but I read a post once saying it’s always a good idea to be proactive.  It was just a cheap way to protect against them.

[Keith]

I think the ones I got are too big to stick in the soil.  Maybe I’ll cut them.

Yeah lol those the ones I used to use. They make a huge mess of. I tried hanging them just about everywhere and never found a good spot.

[Keith]

[Keith]

I made this, I think it’ll work.

I’m going to use Adams setup good stuff bro.I had just been laying them on top of the soil and pick them up when I fed them so thanks,@adammarsh.

I appreciate you for showing us that

[Keith]

I’ve had these things for a month and having set any up yet, lol.

[Atom]

Your welcome bro. They work really well because there close to the soil. Added bonus of no mess. Is not quite as sticky too if you get them on your hands a little. And you probably will putting them into the little sticks just heads up lol. It washes off easy enough

[Keith]

I didn’t know exactly how I was going to get them in the sick without first removing the white paper.  I was figuring it was going to be difficult.
