Creating a thriving garden takes more than just good soil and sunlight—it also requires effective pest management that doesn’t compromise your commitment to sustainability. Whether you're tending to a lush greenhouse or cultivating crops in a covered raised garden bed, sticky traps offer a safe and eco-friendly solution to protect your plants.

At Canuck Landing, our butterfly and flower-shaped sticky traps are thoughtfully designed not only to control pests but to do so in a way that blends beautifully into your garden, respects nature, and prioritizes safety for birds, pollinators, and people.

Why Use Sticky Traps in Covered Environments?

Covered raised beds and greenhouses create controlled microenvironments that help extend your growing season and shield your plants from the elements. But while these structures offer protection from wind and weather, they can also inadvertently trap pests—especially fungus gnats, whiteflies, aphids, and thrips—that thrive in warm, humid, and enclosed spaces.

Sticky traps work perfectly in these settings by intercepting pests before they become a full-blown infestation. When used strategically, they serve as a silent, chemical-free line of defense, keeping your crops healthy and your environment balanced.

The Importance of “Covered” Raised Beds

The distinction of covered raised beds is an important one, especially when using sticky traps outdoors. Birds, curious and attracted to bright colors, can sometimes be drawn to sticky traps if they're left exposed. That's why Canuck Landing emphasizes use in covered garden beds where the traps are protected from wildlife interaction.

Covered beds, whether shielded by mesh, polycarbonate panels, or floating row covers, allow sticky traps to do their job effectively—targeting ground-dwelling and flying pests—without risk to beneficial creatures like birds and bees.

Aesthetic and Functional: The Canuck Landing Difference

Our traps aren’t just utilitarian; they’re designed with your garden’s beauty in mind. Shaped like delicate butterflies and vibrant flowers, they bring a decorative touch to your space while working hard behind the scenes.

Each design is made with non-toxic, pesticide-free materials and features waterproof adhesive that performs even in humid or damp conditions—making them ideal for greenhouses or beds with drip irrigation systems.

The large surface area of each trap ensures maximum pest capture, while the bright yellow color naturally attracts a wide range of problematic insects. Best of all, the charming shapes enhance your garden’s look, seamlessly blending into your plantscape.

How to Use Sticky Traps Effectively in Raised Beds and Greenhouses

To get the most out of your sticky traps, placement and timing are key. Here’s how to maximize their benefits:

1. Monitor Early and Often
Start using sticky traps early in the season to catch pest populations before they take hold. In greenhouses, pests can multiply quickly due to the constant climate, so early detection is crucial.

2. Strategic Placement
Insert traps near plant bases or slightly above foliage where pests are most active. For raised beds, anchor them securely in the soil or attach them to support stakes. In greenhouses, suspend them from frames or insert them directly into potted plants or garden trays.

3. Keep Traps Clean and Replace as Needed
As traps fill, their effectiveness decreases. Check them weekly and replace when they’re covered in insects or dust. Our traps are designed to last, but regular refreshment ensures optimal pest control.

4. Use in Conjunction with Other Eco-Friendly Practices
Sticky traps are a great first line of defense, but for comprehensive protection, combine them with companion planting, regular pruning, and proper soil management. This integrated approach enhances your garden’s resilience naturally.

Safe for You, Safe for Nature

One of the top concerns among gardeners is finding pest solutions that don’t introduce harmful chemicals into their homegrown produce or disrupt local wildlife. Canuck Landing’s traps are made with non-toxic adhesives and safe materials, meaning they’re suitable for use around pets, kids, and edible plants.

And because they’re used in protected environments—like covered beds or enclosed greenhouses—they do their work without threatening beneficial pollinators or birds. This thoughtful balance is part of what sets Canuck Landing apart.

Why Gardeners Love Using Traps in Covered Spaces

Covered raised garden beds and greenhouses give you control over your growing environment. Sticky traps enhance that control by offering an immediate and visual way to track pest presence. Gardeners often tell us how satisfying it is to see results in real time—catching fungus gnats mid-flight or reducing whitefly populations without ever reaching for chemical sprays.
