Duct Tape

Discovering in your home a fly, a man wants to get rid of her quickly. Grandfather's way: destroy flies with a clapper, has long been outdated. Among modern insect repellents, sticky tapes are distinguished as the safest and cheapest. Sticky tape from flies, suspended from the ceiling, is found in many shops, indoor markets, small offices and in residential buildings.

Operating principle

Tape for flies is the easiest to use means from flying insects.It is a long tape of cardboard, covered with a sticky mixture. The composition of the adhesive tape is as follows:

• rosin or pine resin - substances that provide stickiness and are able to hold an insect for a long time;
• rubber is also a sticky and viscous substance that reliably holds flies;
• oils (linseed, castor, petroleum jelly) or glycerin - are the binding base, which gives the viscosity to the adhesive;
• Attractant is a synthetic substance that causes insects to be strongly attracted to smell.

Insects flying past the duct tape of flies are attracted by the pleasant scent and sit on it. The more flies stick to the trap, the greater the likelihood that newly flown guests will want to sit next to their congeners on a sticky layer.

Important!

Validity is significantly reduced when using flypaper from flies on the street. Dust and debris fall on the adhesive layer and make it less sticky.

The stickiness of the substance lasts from 1 month to six months, depending on the manufacturer and environmental conditions. If a large number of flying midges stick to the tape in a short period,then it can be changed to a new one before the due date. Flies do not sit on tape, if there is a source of danger near it or unpleasant smell for them.

Types of adhesive tapes

The device of the adhesive tape is the same, but a different manufacturer has its own viscous layer formulation. From this depends on the effectiveness of the tool and its price. The cheapest specimens have a short duration and are not able to meet the expectations of buyers to destroy as many flies as possible. The cardboard roll is packaged in a sleeve-shaped plastic case.

Fumitoks helped me last summer. At first I bought a sticky tape from an unknown manufacturer and felt sorry. A week later, the tape has ceased to be sticky. Therefore it was necessary to buy anew, but already known in certain circles means. It has retained its sticky qualities for 30 days. The flies that flew into the house immediately fell into the trap.
