Bug Ball Catch EM' Sticky Insect Trap Coating 8oz Brush with Cap

I’ve been using Bug Ball Catch EM’ for a while now. It’s easy to apply and works well. I use it mainly for yellow flies, there a nuisance when walking between my truck and the front door. The only thing I will say it that the brush that comes with the can is quite small. I just pick up a bunch of the cheap ‘chip’ brushes for the hardware store, they make application much easier.

I had bought these plug in, attract the insects with a light and catch them on the flypaper gizmos. They work! The only problem is, the replacement flypaper I ordered was not sticky enough to catch much. So I ordered this fly paper glue and smeared it on the useless replacement paper and voila ! Back in biz of catching the buz.🪳

Eh, did ok but not as sticky as I was hoping. Caught more dirt than bugs.

I got this to paint onto blue Pepsi cans that I hung from shepherd hooks in my garden. Makes great deer fly traps! I have deer flies in my garden and I was tired of getting bit every time I went to pull weeds or harvest veggies. The bites are very uncomfortable and deer flies carry a variety of disgusting diseases. Nothing I had tried kept the deer flies under control - and I didn't want to use a bunch of chemicals in my garden. After doing some research, I learned that deer flies are attracted to brighter blues. I read about making your own fly traps with sticky stuff. So, I went to Amazon and found this product. I painted it onto some bright blue Pepsi cans and IT WORKED! Not only are there deer flies stuck on the blue cans, but gnats and other garden pests like the shiny blue cans too. So far, I haven't had bees get stuck on the sticky coated Pepsi cans - and I've had the cans up for a couple of months now. I can work in my garden without being pestered or attacked by pesky, biting deer flies. Plus, it's super easy to make more traps! This little can of sticky stuff goes a long way!

I got this to use for my houseplants. I have a lot of them and didn’t want to have to buy a bunch of sticky cards. I painted this on cardboard strips and clipped the strips onto wooden skewers and stuck them in my plants. It works great! It stays gooey a long time, doesn’t dry out. I hardly see any fungus gnats anymore. Now I have a ready supply of goo to use if I need to again.

Only sticks to hands. No bugs stick to it. Definitely need gloves. Everything walked right on & off it as I was spreading it around tree trunks. The brush does not reach bottom & had to try pour on trunk & catch w brush as ran down. Tried spray, it clogged immediately as dried on nozzle. This is not answer to bugs destroying our trees. Will get Tangle Foot when back in stock.

All I can say is. It's Sticky! Got it for gnats in the greenhouse. The first try didn't get any gnats, but got a large rat. Stuck him totally to the cardboard. Now I keep at a corner for rats n mice too.

I bought the Tanglefoot Tangle Trap Sticky Coating first. It is the best. My 8 oz jar lasted about 18 mos. When I was low, I went to order more and it was sold out...... So I saw this kind and assumed they would be equal in every way. They were not. The packaging looks about the same, but upon opening, the brush, which was 1/2 as thick, had bristles which were going several different directions. So then I thought, no problem, I will switch the other one from the empty can into this can. Wrong thread and diameter of cap. I have used it a couple times since I got it and it is the messiest (and I am not afraid of a little mess) but this felt more like applying almost dried up rubber cement to my Solo Blue cups. it really wasn't that thick, it just didn't spread right. Like it feels like it "foams up" as you are trying to spread it out. Then you finally get enough on the cup to put it out and it works. Cleanup for all the drips (remember the brush bristles are all over the place, not a nice neat brush) now takes a while and feels like you are just smearing stickiness around. Look for my review of the Tangle Trap. Ordering more of that product now that I see it is in stock again. This can is hitting the trash can. I do not recommend this product. It will work, but it isn't fun to use.
