Inside the pack you will find a ready prepared greased band approximately 5m long and some brown wire to tie greased band onto the tree.
The band should be fixed well above the level of any surrounding vegetation to ensure it is not bridged, which may allow insects to avoid the grease.
Use the band around any supporting tree posts.
Examine the bands regularly to ensure they are still in place.
How to use
TO APPLY THE BAND, YOU WILL NEED A PAIR OF SCISSORS
- Remove the band from the packaging and unroll.
- Cut off enough band to go round the tree trunk once, leaving 10cm (4”) overlap.
- Open out the band carefully to expose the greased surface.
