The yellow sticky cards are generally used for monitoring the population of fungus gnats, shoreflies, whiteflies and aphids but these cards can also help to reduce the population of above insect pests. This is because actively flying adults of these insects get stuck to the cards and die. Since trapped females of these insects die quickly, they cannot lay eggs that in turn disrupt their life cycle as their future generations will not be produced. For trapping flying adults, cut yellow sticky traps into small pieces, attach them to small wood sticks and place them in several pots.
