VIA preventative pest control, without using pesticide of any kind.Has anyone ever used screen cages, around potted plants at night? Does anyone have any input on screen cages working?
I hate moths, I can’t image cages being effective.... I think zappers, and zap swatters, and yellow sticky sheets are the answer to resolve intrusion of moths in, on or around plants! I have the yellow sticky sheets at various levels and I need to swap them out all the time to make room for more moths to meet their fate. Also, works with whiteflies and such if they come in to suck on your plants, seeing them on the sticky cards makes ya aware of their presence!
You can hang them on the lower branches, what I do is strip only one side of the protective paper off and sit it on the top of the soil, and eventually you can flip it over and use the other side. I also hang them from the lights and yes once in a while they'll catch on & tear off part of a leafYou hang them directly on the plant? I get an afternoon wind here everyday. Will they stick to leaves if yellow sticky paper is blowing around.
