Directions
Wrap Tanglefoot Barrier band around trunk. On rough bark trees plug
all gaps under band with cotton batting or similar material. Do not
apply directly to young, thin-barked trees or to bearing fruit or nut
trees. Apply Tanglefoot Insect Barrier on banding material using a
putty knife or disposable paddle to spread 3" (7.62cm) by
1/16" (1.59mm) thick. When sticky areas become covered with
insects or debris, remove banding and repeat. Remove bands at end of
season.
Remove Tree Tanglefoot from tools with mineral spirits. Remove from
hands or skin with baby oil or citrus cleaners then wash with soap and
water.
