## Description

Tanglefoot Insect Barrier (Tub), 15 oz.

Review: Works great!!! 5 stars!!! - What's not to love about this stuff? It does exactly what you expect, and then some. I am using it indoors. I had never used it before, or anything like it, so my primary concern was toxicity and off gassing inside a living space. It turns out that there is nothing whatsoever to be concerned of. I'm not saying you should eat it, but besides that it's completely safe for indoor use. My issue is bed bugs. My personal preference is to stay away from toxic chemicals, which leaves natural and non-toxic alternatives. Such as diatomaceous earth and sticky pads. Both of which work great, but do come with inherent limitations. Like the fact that it takes a few minutes to a few hours for the critter to die off once it's been exposed. Unfortunately, if you're dealing with a pregnant critter that leaves them enough time to squirt out their eggs leaving you yet another generation of pests to deal with. Regardless of what you might read on the bottles, there is no such thing as instant bed bug eradication. They are just too small and they can hide virtually anywhere. So there is simply no way to hunt them all down before they bite you. FYI, it's the egg-laying you should be worried about, not the biting. So here's the trick. They hunt by sensing your body heat and your exhaled breath. Which is why they seem to focus on your bed area, because after all it's the one place were you remain relatively still for up to eight hours a day. Then consider the fact that they can cross any room in your house in less than 20 minutes. So instead of trying to avoid them, allow yourself to become their bait. But what they don't know, and can never prepare for, is that you have laid a trap from which there is no escape. It's really the only way that works: instead of going to them, have a plan for when they come to you. Here's what I did. I took a roll of 2" wide double sided carpet tape and used it to cover the baseboards and room corners around the footprint of my queen size bed. I also laid a couple of strips directly under the bed. I was very generous with the placement of the tape, and used up about 70 of the 90 ft roll. The idea is to create a barrier which any bug would have to cross in order to reach their meal. I then used a cheap disposable plastic putty knife, and slathered the tape with the Tanglefoot mixture. The result is a sticky barrier that a small dog would have trouble walking through, much less a pea sized bed bug. I also use bed bug coaster traps filled with diatomaceous earth under the four bed posts. Which make a fantastic kill trap, but are not instant and do not necessarily prevent the bed bugs from traveling further. It does guarantee a kill, but it does not guarantee an instant kill. The trick here is to be very generous with the DE so that the bug is guaranteed full exposure to the powder. The better the exposure, the quicker the kill. Between the sticky barrier and the bed bug coaster traps, about all that is left are bugs that might accidentally fall from the ceiling. So in other words, I feel at this point I am 99% protected. I know the bugs are still here, and I know they are still hunting me, but I also know what waits for them when they finally get hungry enough to head my way.
Review: This works but IGNORE the picture and video instructions. They're wrong. - This stuff WORKS!! I have an olive tree that the leaf-cutter ants have been attacking since 2006, Many different ant colonies have discovered it and sometimes I will have a full on attack 6 times a year. In all past years I have had to go outside at about 11pm to see if any ants are coming up and over my block wall to strip the tree. If I'm not vigilant, thousands of leaves are clipped. I have to spray them with Hot Shot concentrate and follow the ants all the way back to where the nest begins to kill the entire army. Six weeks later the larvae in the nest hatch and attack it again. Then I kill THOSE and the colony is dead. But there are other colonies and sometimes they come from 50 yards away. For me, this has been a nightmare!!! UNTIL I FOUND TREE TANGLEFOOT. Since I put it on my tree 3 months ago --- ZERO ants. Here is how to PROPERLY install it. You need two people. First you wind it around the tree trunk or the smaller limbs above a few times making the wrinkled paper winding about 6 inches wide. Don't wind it just the width of the paper wrap. Make it 3 times wider and SECURE IT WITH PLASTIC TIE straps --- Zip ties I think they are called. One at each edge and one in the middle. I had to put two long zip ties together to go around the limbs. You may even need 3. This is why you need two people. One has to hold the paper wrapping tight while the other places the zip ties in place and pulls them tight. Next--- you do NOT use some dumb tool to spread the sticky stuff. It makes too much of a mess and is hard to control the stick stuff from running. What you DO is go get two latex gloves, put them on and dip your fingers in to pull out maybe a tablespoon of the sticky stuff and gently smear it on evenly all over the surface of the secured paper wrap. Keep it thin but not too thin because this stuff will run. This is the easy part. If you do it with a tool like they show--- it a real pain to control the thickness and gobs of it plop on the ground. I've had several rain storms and it still looks like new because of the plastic tie straps hold so well. You will probably have re-coat it again 3 months later depending on the blowing dust, dirt and debris blowing around, but using the latex gloves, it only takes about 5 minutes. Do NOT re-wrap the tree with new paper. I just wanted to share this with you because of the horror show I faced before finding TREE TANGLEFOOT. Apply it my way and it's easy as pie. Their way---- it another horror show

## Questions & Answers

**Q: someone said it would work with the new invasive "spotted lantern flies"?  Is that possible?  Only answer if you know for sure. thanks.**
A: Let me add to my previous post.  Timing is everything when using this product.  You need to use it now (late april - mid may) when the spotted lantern flies are still in their nymph stage.  The nymphs will try to climb up the tree during the day and will become trapped in the sticky paste.  This technique will NOT work once the spotted lantern flies become adults and begin flying.  Please refer to the Penn State guide provided in the one of the other comments.  I actually spoke to one of their staff who pointed me in this direction.

**Q: Do I need to reapply this after rain?**
A: No.  It is unbelievably sticky, but does not wash off after rain.  I did one, single, simple application on several trees, and it immediately wiped out my ant problem.  I noticed that ants collected on it for weeks afterward, but they still could not get by it.
In my area the Summer has just ended and I have taken off the tape that holds the Tanglefoot from each tree. (That was easy to do.) The bug issue is dead for the remainder of the year.  I will re-apply in the Spring. ...That's one, single application on about 5 or 6 tree trunks, using about 2% of a small, 15 oz. container, and the problem was wiped out completely for this year!!!!
I guess that I did not need to buy 2 containers.  LOL   ...But I did not understand its potency.
I am going to hit more tree trunks in the Spring with this stuff, since my fairly big yard has been decimated by bugs for the past decade.
If I did not use this product, the trees which I lovingly transplanted would now be dead already.  The ant infestation was to the point where no leaves could grow;  thus no pull of water up the trunk; thus impending dry stick and tree death.  The infested trees were headed that way, and I had to learn how to fix them from YouTube videos, many of which recommended this product.
This is one of the simplest and most effective products for the money that I every purchased.

**Q: Will this work on Japanese Beetles?**
A: Tree Tanglefoot Insect Barrier is a non-drying, sticky compound that forms a barrier against climbing insects. It controls the following insects: ants, black vine weevil, the cankerworm, gypsy moths, winter moths, and other crawling insects. The label does not specifically state that it will control Japanese Beetles.

**Q: How much area does 15 Oz. cover? Thanks!**
A: Tree diameter is an important consideration, but what you are painting it on makes a huge difference as well.  I tried the tree wrap but couldn't get it to stay, so I painted directly on the trees.  For smoother trunks you need less, but a rough bark tree (I have some rough bark maples) you need a lot more because you have to get it into the crevices to form an effective barrier. I did four younger trees (~8-10" diameter) and three older trees (~18-20" diameter and much rougher) and used one and a half 15 oz tubs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kinda gross but does work well!
*by W***H on May 19, 2021*

I really hate having to use this product. It’s obviously gooey and very sticky which makes it a pain to apply. It’s also why it works so well. The nasty carpenter ants have been running a very productive aphid farm on my cherry trees for the last two years. I tried just spraying water to clear the issue but the ants made sure to replace their ‘livestock’ and keep the ladybugs from doing their jobs. Not one to use chemicals, I decided to give tanglefoot a try. I placed rings of duck tape (sticky side facing out!) around my trees and coated them with the stuff using a disposable plastic knife. I also coated any lines tied to the branches anchoring them to the ground—leave no paths available to the bugs. With heat and rain the tanglefoot does run down a bit but though unsightly it does not harm the tree. I plan on removing the tape in June (after 2 months) but will continue to monitor and replace it a few inches higher or lower if needed—gotta let the bark breathe. So far no ants on my trees and the ladybugs are free to devour any aphids they find, though I hardly see any anymore.👍🏼
