Product reviewsVitax Fruit Tree Grease Brush On Monitoring Trap For Winter Moths 200g

Other use

I used it to keep spiders off my CCTV system and from spinning webs which caused them to activate during the night. This stuff is the only one that has proved to deter them to some extent. I'd tried all the other specialised stuff but they didnot work. The Fruit Tree Goo has proved to be the best so far.Read full review...

Wrong shape bottle

I think that the grease is well upto the job but for me it's in the wrong type of bottle, you don't get a vast amount and it's well down the bottle before you start, getting it out is a nightmare, I used an old credit card. If the bottle was more flat and wide, like a shoe polish tin you will be able to use more of it. Currently there is a lot wasted.Read full review...

Does what it says on the container

I had used grease bands before but found the creepy crawlies were able to make their way under the band and still spoil some of the fruit, the grease is able to get in to grooves of the bark giving extremely good protection and has given us over twice as much edible fruit than in the past.
Good product.
Just one other comment, the manufactures could get 300g / 350 g in the same container as it appears just over half full!Read full review...

a better band than tape

much better than the tape band variety as many apple trees have a rough "cork" type bark which this product will fill all the tiny gaps and create a complete band much easier

Fruit saver

I have purchased this tree treatment prior to the time of use so that I am ready and able to beet any infest of insects ect. I have used it before and with good results.Sadly I didn't catch the Victoria plums in time this year and had a lot of bugs inside them.
A good product ,worth using.Read full review...

sticky grease

Just applied the grease to a mature Bramley Apple tree so won't know how effective it is until Autumn 2020. Easy to apply but used most of one pot on one tree because the bark was so rough and the instructions say to ensure full coating. Worth it if it works.Read full review...

Better than nothing!

I use it on a very old and large tree with rough bark, so it takes a lot of grease to form an effective barrier. The problem is worse in a year like this as the leaves have yet to fall, and when they do some are likely to adhere to the grease, at worst bridging the gap so allowing the moths to crawl past the barrier. The reason I keep using it is that despite the cost it's a sight cheaper than pheromone traps.Read full review...

Good - with reservations

Having ordered this exact brand product over the past 3-4 years, we find that it is effective - somewhat.

What we are not happy with is that the small amount of grease in the plastic container. This means that the container is only filled to about half. Given the cost of the product, it should be filled all the way to the top of the container. We don't think that is expecting too much from the MFG.Read full review...

Vitax fruit tree bands.

The product came quickly as described and well packed. I haven't used these two packs yet but have used the product before, it's pretty effective at keeping bugs at bay, but you must really put quite a bit on and cover any deep cracks in the bark, otherwise the little creatures will go over, round or under the treatment!Read full review...

good grease

very good product the grease is fine but was surprised to find that the tub was only half full such a waste of space the tub could hold double the amount so be a ware when buying
