Double-Sided Blue Sticky Cards for Thrips Insect Control

Double-Sided Blue Sticky Cards for Thrips Insect Control

Blue sticky cards for thrips start with a 0.23 mm virgin PP sheet, coated both sides with a strong adhesive that stays tacky from 0°C to 60°C. The release paper peels off cleanly without tearing the glue layer. The blue pigment isn’t a random shade—it’s matched to the peak spectral sensitivity of Frankliniella occidentalis, the common western flower thrips. A printed 1 inch grid lets you count captures in seconds, so you can log data consistently across different scouts. The glue holds up in misty greenhouses and resists oxidation, meaning you won’t see that crusty yellowing that cheaper traps develop after a week. For growers running IPM programmes, these cards pair neatly with predatory mites—you monitor thrips numbers and release biocontrols only when thresholds are crossed.
