STICKY 

 BANDS 



From one edge of each circle, a cut was made 

 through the center to within approximately 5 cm 

 of the opposite edge (Fig. 1). Four more cuts, 

 equidistant from the first cut, were made radially 

 from the center of the circle to within 5 cm of the 

 edge. Along the outside edge, cuts were then made 

 about 9 cm apart and 2 cm toward the center of 

 the circle. The cut edges were then folded 

 vertically so that they overlapped, and they were 

 all stapled together except the original cut from 

 the outside edge. 



The collar with funneling tabs was constructed 

 as follows: a circle was cut in half and cuts about 3 

 cm apart and 3 cm deep were made along the 



curved edge of the hemisphere; an aluminum tag 

 (2x9 cm) with cardboard backing was stapled at 

 each end of the straightangle edge. 



The tray and collar were fastened to the tree as 

 shown in Figure 1. A thick application of Tack 

 Trap (Animal Repellents, Inc., Griffin, Ga. 

 30224) 1 was spread inside and up onto the fingers 

 of the trap with a spatula. Tack Trap was applied 

 around the stem about 10 cm above the trap and 

 along the back edge of the collar and tabs to make 

 sticky bands. The Tack Trap used for the bands 

 had been heated to the boiling point to drive off 

 some of the solvent so it could be applied thickly 

 without running down the tree.
