STOP SPOTTED LANTERNFLIES. PROTECT BACKYARD WILDLIFE.

Sticky tree tape catches lanternflies. It also catches birds, squirrels, and everything else. Penn State Extension says you should never use sticky tape without a wildlife barrier. The FOBA Trap is that barrier.

The FOBA (Friend of Backyard Animals) Spotted Lanternfly Trap is a patented cage system that wraps around sticky tape on your tree. Spotted lanternflies walk through the cage openings and get trapped on the tape. Birds and mammals stay safe.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN ONE KIT:

  • 15 modular cage links (fits trees up to 5 ft circumference)
  • 20 ft FOBA Sticky Insect Tree Tape (5 full refreshes for a 4 ft tree)
  • Hook-and-loop strap (no tools, no drilling, installs in 5 minutes)

AS RECOMMENDED BY EXPERTS: "Sticky bands should never be used without a wildlife barrier installed around them." — Penn State Extension, Spotted Lanternfly Management Guide

SPOTTED LANTERNFLIES ARE IN 18+ STATES AND SPREADING. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and more. Hundreds of millions of dollars in damage every year. Protect your trees before nymphs emerge in late April.

"[The} design allows for invasive bugs to...get stuck to the sticky tape [and the] protective barrier...prevents birds and mammals from getting stuck."

"Friend of Backyard Animals," Why our patented-pending FOBA bycatch prevention traps matter.

The FOBA Trap isn't like other traps... The most effective and common method used to trap and kill Spotted Lanternflies is sticky tree tape. Without the FOBA Trap, Lanternflies stuck on sticky tape make easy meals for backyard birds and mammals. These other species will often get themselves stuck to the tape as they attempt to capitalize on the free snack, leading to extremely distressed animals. Most of the time, the sticky glue is too much for backyards birds and mammals to overcome. We set out to design a system that expands on the effectiveness of sticky tree tape, while eliminating the problem of "bycatch," or harming unintended native species. Spotted Lanternflies already account for millions of dollars in damages and habitat destruction every year. Our mission is to help eliminate the harm these pests cause, and part of that mission includes protecting our native vertebrate species along the way. We ask you to join us in this mission. Protect our native habitats and species, and stop the spread of the invasive Spotted Lanternfly.
