SLF Control with Sticky Tape, and Eliminate Bycatch
If you are using sticky tape traps to control the Spotted Lanternfly population, you may be concerned about unintentionally harming birds and mammals that may also be attracted to your backyard. The FOBA Cage, short for Friend of Backyard Animals Cage, provides a solution to this problem.
This patented device is designed to be used in conjunction with sticky tape traps, providing a barrier around the tape that prevents birds and mammals from getting stuck. By using the FOBA Cage, you can effectively capture and kill Spotted Lanternflies while minimizing the negative impact on wildlife in your area.
State governments and universities have embraced the FOBA Cage as a solution to the problem of bycatch. By using this device, homeowners can ensure that their efforts to control the Spotted Lanternfly population do not unintentionally harm birds and mammals in their backyard habitats. This helps maintain a healthy ecosystem and prevent further disruption of the natural balance of the area.
Using the FOBA Cage is easy. Simply place it around the sticky tape trap, attaching each link to the provided hook'n'loop belt. The cage will provide a barrier around the sticky tape, preventing birds and mammals from getting trapped. Spotted Lanternflies crawl up the trees, getting stuck to the tape.
Overall, the FOBA Cage is an effective solution for controlling the Spotted Lanternfly population while minimizing the negative impact on wildlife. By using this device, you can play a role in protecting the ecosystem of your backyard habitat while also doing your part to control this invasive pest.
