Tanglefoot Tree Insect Barrier is a ready-to-apply protective coating formulated as a thick, non-toxic paste that creates a durable shield against crawling pests. Applied directly to tree and shrub trunks, it stops ants, gypsy moth larvae, tent caterpillars, cutworms, and other chewing insects before they can reach and damage foliage. The easy-to-use squeeze tube allows homeowners and landscapers to coat trunks quickly and precisely, making it ideal for residential yards, commercial landscapes, and orchards.
This barrier improves plant health by preventing feeding damage while maintaining a low-impact approach to pest management. Because the formula does not contain harmful chemicals, it supports beneficial insects and aligns with sustainable landscaping and organic gardening practices. The paste adheres firmly to bark, remains effective through rain, heat, and frost, and can be removed when reapplication is needed, offering flexibility for seasonal treatments.
