Solabiol Greenhouse Fly Catcher 7 Strips

Solabiol® Greenhouse Fly Catcher – Pack of 7 Strips

Non-Toxic, Organic Solution for Controlling Greenhouse Pests

The Solabiol® Greenhouse Fly Catcher is a highly effective, chemical-free solution designed to control flying insect pests in greenhouses and indoor growing environments. This pack contains seven sticky trap strips, each expertly developed to attract and trap a wide variety of flying insects, including whiteflies, greenflies, blackflies, and thrips—without the use of pesticides.

The dual-colour design is key to its efficiency: yellow strips effectively attract general flying insects such as aphids and whiteflies, while the blue strip is specifically formulated to attract thrips, a particularly stubborn and damaging greenhouse pest.

Safe for use in organic gardening, this environmentally friendly pest control method provides essential protection for young and mature plants alike, preventing infestations and supporting healthy plant growth without harming beneficial insects or requiring toxic interventions.

Key Features and Benefits

Pesticide-Free Insect Control

Solabiol Greenhouse Fly Catchers are completely free of synthetic pesticides, making them ideal for safe use around edible crops, children, pets, and pollinators. Instead of killing insects with chemicals, these traps attract and trap flying pests on a non-drying adhesive surface.

Dual-Colour Technology for Maximum Effectiveness

• Yellow Sections: Proven to attract and trap a broad range of greenhouse pests, such as whitefly, greenfly, blackfly, leaf miners, and fungus gnats.

• Blue Strip: Specifically formulated to target thrips, one of the most difficult greenhouse pests to control. Blue wavelengths are uniquely attractive to thrips, which are often missed by yellow-only traps.

Suitable for Organic Gardening

Approved for use in organic gardening, Solabiol Greenhouse Fly Catchers offer an effective and environmentally sound method of pest management that aligns with sustainable and chemical-free growing practices.

Easy to Use

Simply hang or position the sticky strips near plants, windows, or areas with visible insect activity. Each strip is pre-coated with a long-lasting adhesive and can be used indoors or in covered outdoor structures like greenhouses or polytunnels.

Long-Lasting Adhesive

The traps remain effective for several weeks, depending on the insect population and environmental conditions. Replace once the surface is covered with insects or dust for continued protection.

Recommended Uses

• Greenhouses

• Conservatories

• Cold frames

• Indoor herb gardens

• Seedling trays and propagation areas

• Potted houseplants near windows

Perfect for gardeners seeking to monitor and control pest populations without resorting to toxic sprays or foggers.

Application Instructions

1. Unpack the Strips: Remove from the packaging and unfold gently.

2. Position Strategically: Hang or stick the traps close to plants using hooks or stakes. Position near doors, windows, vents, or over infested areas.

3. Monitor and Replace: Check traps weekly. Replace once the strip is covered or after 4–6 weeks, depending on conditions.

Environmental & Safety Considerations

• Child and Pet Safe: No harmful ingredients make it safe to use in family spaces.

• Eco-Friendly: Contributes to sustainable gardening by reducing dependency on synthetic pesticides.

• Non-Toxic to Pollinators: When used indoors or in enclosed environments, traps avoid harming bees and other beneficial outdoor insects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How do the traps work without pesticides?
A: The yellow and blue colours attract specific flying pests based on their visual preferences. Once attracted, the pests land on the sticky adhesive surface and are trapped, reducing the population.

Q: Are these safe to use in organic gardens?
A: Yes. Solabiol Greenhouse Fly Catchers are suitable for organic gardening and contain no harmful chemicals.

Q: Can I use these traps outdoors?
A: While primarily designed for greenhouses and indoor use, they can be used in enclosed outdoor growing structures such as polytunnels or cold frames. Outdoor exposure to weather may reduce effectiveness.

Q: How often should I replace the strips?
A: Replace the strips every 4–6 weeks or once the surface becomes saturated with insects or dust.

Q: Will they attract beneficial insects?
A: These traps are meant for use in enclosed areas, minimizing impact on pollinators. Use responsibly in closed environments where beneficial insect contact is minimal.

Q: What pests are they effective against?
A: Whitefly, greenfly, blackfly, fungus gnats, leaf miners, and thrips.
