Horiver Wetstick by Koppert: Yellow and blue adhesive strips for pest monitoring and capture

Horiver Wetstick by Koppert is a professional insect monitoring and control tool for crops, designed to detect the presence of pests at an early stage and reduce their population in a completely physical way and without chemicals. These adhesive strips with wet glue, highly sensitive and long-lasting, allow the capture of a wide variety of common pests in outdoor crops, greenhouses and indoor growing.

Available in two colours, each optimised to attract specific types of insects, each strip includes a counting grid that makes it easier to track pest development.

What are the yellow Horiver insect-catching strips used for?

The yellow strips are formulated to attract insects that react strongly to this colour, especially: whiteflies, thrips, fungus gnats (sciarids) and leaf miners.

Their high visual attractiveness and powerful wet glue make it possible to detect the early appearance of these pests and reduce the adult population, slowing their spread before they affect the crop.

What are the blue Horiver-TR insect-catching strips used for?

The blue strips are specially designed for monitoring thrips, being more selective and avoiding the capture of other beneficial insects. They are ideal for:

• Crops where beneficial fauna is used.
• Spaces where only the presence of thrips needs to be measured.
• Critical phases where very precise readings of pest pressure are required.

What is crop monitoring?

Monitoring is an essential technique in integrated pest management. It involves regularly observing the crop using tools such as Horiver Wetstick in order to:

• Detect the early presence of insects.
• Identify which pest is active.
• Measure population density week by week.
• Know whether treatments or natural enemies are working.
• Decide whether it is necessary to act… or if intervention is not yet required.

Thanks to the printed grid on the strips, counting is faster and more accurate, allowing decisions to be made based on real data.

How to use Horiver Wetstick in your crop

Easy installation: the strips include pre-cuts for quick and convenient hanging. Place them at the height of the area where insects move (generally between substrate level and canopy), and adjust their height as the plant grows.

Distribution:

• For basic monitoring: 1 strip every 10–20 m²
• For enhanced control: place more units around entrances and problem areas

Inspection:

Check weekly the number of captured insects and replace the trap when the surface is very full or the glue loses effectiveness.

Simultaneous use of colours:

Yellow for general surveillance and blue for specific thrips monitoring.
