uBloomd Bugs Bundle - 30 traps - 10 x Monstera Leaf + 10 x Round + 10 x Nature
Get 30 uBloomd Green Sticky Traps (one 10 pack of each shape), and save BIG while saying bye bye to Fungus Gnats and other pesky plant flies! uBloomd Green Sticky Traps are the world's first green sticky traps for fungus gnats, white flies, fruit flies, thrips and aphids.
What's included in a uBloomed kit?
One uBloomed kit includes: 10 stealth sticky traps, 5 reusable wooden support clips, (with mini peg at one end to hold the trap and stay put). Just un-clip your used trap and insert a fresh trap. Also includes instructions card, all neatly in a compostable slide-zip bag (shown below). This bundle includes 3 packs, so that's 30 traps total for maximum protection or larger collections.
How do the stealth traps work?
Ever noticed tiny bugs flying erratically around your plants (or floating in your cuppa)? About the size of a fruit fly, but skinny like a teeny tiny mosquito? Yep, you've probably got yourself a Fungus Gnat family setting up home in your houseplants.
The flying adults are getting busy populating your plants, laying eggs that hatch into larvae that feed in your soil and, you guessed it, turn into more adults. The cycle continues.
UBloomd Sticky Traps are called 'stealth traps' because they sit discreetly in your plants down at the soil level where the adults lay their eggs. The adults are attracted to the colour and scent, get stuck and die on the trap.
And with one female fungus gnat laying 200 to 300 eggs in just one week, every catch is a big win for breaking the lifecycle. Being green, and the perfect smaller size for houseplants, UBloomd don't yell 'I've got pests!' like the big yellow traps do, and don't spoil your enjoyment of your plants.
Is green better than yellow?
UBloomd tested yellow, blue, red and green traps. Same size, same conditions, and green averaged 12% more pests caught than the other colours.
How do you use them?
Grab one trap and one wooden support clip. Peel off both sides of the trap, open the peg clip, and insert the trap. You're ready to slide your trap into the soil, ready to get to work.
You can also peel off one side only and lay the trap on the soil surface, sticky side up. UBloomd traps are waterproof so you can water as usual. As another option, you can stick the trap to the side of your pot.
What size are they?
The traps measure about 5cm across and the wooden support sticks are around 10cms tall.
How long does 1 trap last?
As you can imagine, this depends how bad your infestation is, but also how dusty your plants and the air around them is, so there isn't an exact number of months. In uBloomd's tests a trap (once opened) stays sticky for up to 6 months.
Unpeeled, stored in a cool, dry place, they can be used up a year after purchase, so you're safe to stock up. You may find yours stays sticky shorter or longer depending on your conditions.
One trap per infested plant is recommended, and because the Fungus Gnat lifecycle is as short as 17 days or as long as 4 to 5 weeks at different times of year, and treating them tends to take at least 2 lifecycles minimum, you'll want enough traps for at least 2 months based on 1 trap per plant. For larger plants you can use 2 traps per pot.
FASTER KILL: If you use sticky traps along with something that also kills the larvae in the soil (like Mozzie Bits or Oxygen Plus), then you'll give yourself the best chance of not only eradicating them entirely, but also getting rid of them much faster than only catching the adults, or only killing the larvae.
PREP TIP: You want pests not dust on your traps, so a little prep-dust will help. A wipe of your plant shelves and dust of your plant's leaves before you add your uBloomd trap is a good idea to extend how long one trap stays sticky by having less dust around (I love Plant Runner Neem Oil Leaf Shine for that along with a Dusting Glove). Your plants will love you for that too as dust blocks the light your plant's need to survive. Plus other nasties like Spider Mites also love dusty leaves so win win!
