The theory proposes that insects such as whiteflies, scales, mealybugs, thrips, beach flies, mosquitoes, etc. First, identify the plants they feed on using their visual cues through the insects' olfactory organs. These pests, such as aphids, whiteflies, and scale insects, have mouthparts adapted for piercing and sucking. They feed on plant sap, extracting nutrients directly from the vascular system of the plant. As they feed on the plant sap, they can weaken the plant by reducing its nutrient supply. This can result in stunted growth, wilting, and a decline in overall plant health.
Our Sticky Traps (Yellow, Blue, Black, and Red) look like a mass of new foliage to attract the flying insects. All of our sticky trap foil colors produce a good reflection wavelength between 450nm and 650nm depending on the color of the foil. We glue the non-toxic adhesive 0.05 mm thick to 0.35 mm thick sheets of pure polypropylene (PP). The glue is specially formulated non-toxic / non-drying / waterproof a very good pressure-sensitive adhesive that will keep even the smallest bugs firmly attached to the adhesive sheet. The adhesive foils are covered with an 80 g/m² silicone-coated release paper until they are used. I-Stick is best for pest control and monitoring when insects fail to develop resistance to pesticides. Sticky traps are hung vertically on any stand with the help of wire or thread. At least 15-20 number of traps are required per acre of area. Traps can be placed anywhere in between the crop field or a long boundary. However, we must always place the traps above the canopy layer of the crop.

Many of these flying & sucking pests are also disease vectors/vectors, transmitting bacterial/viral diseases from one plant to another. So, controlling their spread would result in several benefits for the farmer. A flat sheet of Plastic / Polymer or Paper Board on which a Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) coating is applied and covered by a thin release paper to prevent sticking to other surfaces. Sticky traps are low-cost pest control equipment. It eco-friendly product with no harmful environmental impact & very easy to use does not require expensive attachment equipment or special installation skills. No after-effects on crops like harmful pesticides. Contains no toxins. So, it's safe for producers, consumers, and the environment. Easy to use, store and manage. Using I-Stick® can provide a better assess your pests and helps in identifying and controlling pest invasions and outbreaks on your farm from the start.
I-Stick® is an efficient way to attract, trap and monitor insect problems. The trap is activated by removing the sheet of silicone paper covering the adhesive and will be active until the pheromone lure is exhausted, or until the trap is completely filled with insects.
