Catchmaster works great! I smeared it on a blue coffee container to catch deer flies. Super easy to use. I used a tongue depressor to smear on a thin layer. It's sticky gooey stuff, exactly what I was expecting! I had that hanging outside, seeing sun about half the day, and this stuff never ran, dripped, moved which was awesome because I was worried about the stuff dripping onto the deck on a hot day. I would highly recommend for you to try for whatever sticky project you have. Next year I'll use the blue solo cups and try those because the blue caught 95+% dear flies only. I used vegetable oil to remove this sticky stuff off my hands along with paper towels, then repeated, then washed with soap and water.

I am trying this product for the first time against Gypsy Moth caterpillars. So far, it's working well. I may need to buy some more to keep the pests under control. If the product continues to save my trees I would be inclined to offer a total 5 Star rating across the board. The only negative I have: my "kit" did not come with a spreader. I used a putty knife. Clean up is a little difficult. This stuff is really sticky - which is what you want, but cleaning up is tough. I used gasoline on a paper towel.

Works great on the bug ball, last a lot longer that what comes with the bug ball.

Applied it for the first time on the top shaft of my tree trimming pole saw. Normally when I start cutting, the giant aggressive red ants will start crawling down the pole to bite my hands and get under my clothes. But this time the job was far more relaxing because the insect barrier stopped the ants in their track so to speak. They simply got stuck in the glue. Very impressive.

Product arrived damaged. Though it is super sticky because I accidentally got it on my hand when opening the bag. Will try ordering again.

Works great. I use it on avocado tree to keep the rodents soft and they don’t like the stuff.

Used this on top of bands of duct tape to kill THOUSANDS of Spotted Lanternflies over the summer. Stays on even through rain. Great product!
