Olson Garden Guard Sticky Ribbon

Many flying pests, such as whiteflies, aphids, and thrips, are naturally drawn to the specific yellow spectrum of light reflected by the ribbon. This visual lure acts as a passive attractant, drawing insects to the adhesive surface without the need for chemical baits or pheromones.

You can use it in both environments. It is durable enough for outdoor use in fields or gardens, though you should monitor it more frequently outdoors to ensure it doesn't become oversaturated with dust, debris, or beneficial insects.

The adhesive is quite sticky, but it cleans up easily with common household oils. Simply rub a small amount of vegetable, mineral, or baby oil onto the affected area to break down the glue, then wash with soap and water.

Yes, this is a non-toxic, chemical-free method of pest control. Because it relies on a physical adhesive rather than pesticides, it is safe to use near edible crops, provided you place it carefully to avoid trapping beneficial pollinators like bees.

The ribbon comes in a durable dispenser that makes it easy to pull out and cut to your desired length. For perimeter protection, string it between stakes around your growing area; for targeted control, hang strips directly near the plants where you notice the most pest activity.
