So far so good

"We received this yesterday, purchased from another online source. Easy to install, easy to set up, and seems to be working on the tiny nymphs so far, keeping them low on the tree. The only additions I would consider is a strip of foam adhesive insulation material on the back to create a tight seal on the tree. May not be an issue as the critters get bigger, but currently on my maple tree the bark creates a lot of gaps that the small nymphs could get past so I added some bailing twine under the black strip to fill some of those voids. I wish you the best with this, it is creative and makes sense to me, without the toxicity of pesticides and risk to other wildlife."

"This is a amazing invention for the spotted lantern fly. They don’t know where to go. They can’t climb any higher. It’s actually entertaining to watch"

"We had it for a day and have seen immediate results. The pests don’t seem to understand how to get around the tree barrier strip. The maple tree we have is relatively isolated from other objects other than a small shrub so this works wonders."

"This product is ingenious. We have hundreds if not thousands of spotted lantern flies on 3 trees in our yard. We have been trying to control them with the sticky tape, which has been sort of working but it's very messy and hard to keep up with. Also it doesn't entirely stop the spotted lanternflies. This was very neat and easy to install and I went out and looked the following day after putting it up and there were tons of spotted lanternflies under the overhang. It doesn't kill them but I just went around and swatted them all with a fly swatter. The oil appears to make them slower and they don't jump out like they usually do. I recommend this to anyone with a spotted lantern fly problem. These should be used by authorities to control the issue on a larger scale"

Works better than tape

"UPDATE: I've been using this product for about a month since my initial review. I added strips to two other trees, and overall, I am very pleased. I realized that you have to saturate wick really thoroughly, so I add more about every week or two. Once there is sufficient oil, the flies begin to die. We have seen a significant reduction in the number of flies, both below the barrier and higher up on the tree. I highly recommend this product.

Original review: I've had this product up on our huge old oak for three days now. I had been observing lantern fly behavior all summer. I noticed that if I added random strips of duct tape (twirled, bunched, whatever) to my regular strip, lantern flies were more likely to get caught there. They didn't understand obstacles, or couldn't figure out how to get past them, and would get stuck. So when I saw the description of this product, I thought it made complete sense.

Pros: Overall, it is much easier to use than tape, AND I don't have to change it every week. As another reviewer has mentioned, I can kill many SLFs by using a fly swatter. BUT, I don't feel I need to do this every day the way I felt I had to with tape alone. Fewer flies are climbing the tree than with tape, which lost its stickiness pretty fast.

Cons: Some flies are still getting over the barrier. Some *were* getting under it, but I watched where and nailed those gaps shut. However, you can even see in my photos how some are managing to climb up and over (sometimes on top of another fly, but sometimes completely on their own). I do not know if I've added the right amount of oil to the cloth strip (how can I tell??). They also fly from other trees and land above the strip.

I had hoped that one strip would cover two trees, but this oak is so big I used all but a few inches for it. I will be buying another strip for a nearby fruit tree with a significant SLF population"

"So far it is working and keeping them from going up the tree"

"I have owned a pool for over ten years, by far this was the easiest and fastest I have ever closed my pool. I love the way you have it set up with the ropes going across the pool for the cover. I was able to pull the cover over without getting the water on it. The clips for the cover are great., no more playing around with the wire. This closing system is great!"

Thanks,
Danny

"If you have ever had to fight the wind to keep your pool cover down, then look no further than the Secure Fit Pool Cover Clip. The clip will keep the wind from getting under the cover and will make your cover last longer. Definitely try the sample first and you will be amazed. My sample stayed on the ledge against 40+ MPH winds before I got my 10 pack of 22" clips. Now I can relax when the wind blows and you can too! Fast shipping was the best."
