Yellow boards

Brief description Yellow boards:

Yellow boards are a popular aid in the fight against flying insects in the terrarium. The yellow boards consist of a yellow carrier with a special adhesive. Their striking color attracts flying insects such as fungus gnats and fruit flies, which then stick to the adhesive surface and die.

Yellow boards can be attached in various places in the terrarium, for example above the plants or simply under the lid. Please make sure that your terrarium animals cannot reach the yellow boards.

The use of yellow boards reduces the population of flying insects in the terrarium, resulting in a healthier and less stressful habitat for the animals. Yellow boards are also an environmentally friendly alternative to insecticides and chemical pesticides, which can have harmful effects on the environment and also the animals in the terrarium.

It is important to know that yellow boards are not effective against all stages of flying insects in the terrarium. Although they can attract and catch flies, mosquitoes and other flying insects, they cannot control the eggs, larvae and pupae. Therefore, yellow boards should be used in combination with other preventative measures such as the use of predatory mites or other natural enemies of the pests to ensure effective control.

Overall, yellow boards are an effective and safe method of controlling flying insects in the terrarium and should be considered if necessary.
