Learn how to use materials around the house to quickly make an easy-to-construct sticky trap for whiteflies for use in your greenhouse or around the home.
Does sugar makes it more stickier? Then water dilutes it? It would be awesome if you could explain this. I tried without water and sugar and it’s not sticky enough. With your recipe it didn’t work and dripped after a day .
Yeah, quite honestly, I’ve had this comment a lot. I made this video long enough ago that I can’t tell you why… but the logic doesn’t look as right all these years later. This video is something that I’m going to have to revisit and experiment with dilutions to see if it is necessary.
what if the whitefly come to the yellow cards but wouldn't have if the cards weren't there. in other words are you attracting them to the plant with the yellow card when they wouldn't have come around otherwise
Love this thought... and I've had the same sort of musings with things like bug zappers. I think in an enclosed greenhouse, where this is likely to be more helpful, you are less likely to attract critters from the natural surroundings to you and more likely to just collect the pests that have arisen inside your unnatural environment.
Great idea... Off to catch some whiteflies... Thanks
Thanks for taking the time to make this video and sharing.
thank you I will give this a crack up and the upcoming season in New Zealand
simple and cheap, I will use your technique for sure, thanks
I don't understand the point to diluting the corn syrup. Explanation, please?
Seems to me they are attracted to green. Haha
"Super sticky". yet it didn't stick to the pan or her fingers. I tried it, and it was sticky a few hours, then hardened. Not the least bit sticky.
Sorry it didn't work out for you.
mine was not sticky from the beginning!
I feel like honey right out of the jar would be just as effective. And it would stay sticky. Maybe even pancake syrup, molasses, or grenadine
Honey would drip, but perhaps... worth a try.

Thanks for you time in sharing this video
boiling karo and water together doesn't make it thicker, it's deluding the solution basically. Thanks for the video.
Hello, what have I done wrong if the boiled water and corn syrup mix is not sticky?
Thank you
Why not just use corn syrup and no water?

would these work for silverfish indoors?
That I don't know... if you try one, let me know how it goes!
i keep a small jar and pop it in the microwave.
Did this and the stickiness wore off in a couple days
They do need to be replaced often.
use yellow plastic sheet , so you could re new it
DEFINITELY a useful modification to this video, thanks!
Ingredient name pls

The idea is to put the card where you have the infestation so they go to the card and not the plant lol
Hi, what type of glue did you use ?
It does not work at all. I wasted my time and money.
