Review: Bye bye ants! - My poor apple tree suffered last year as ants moved in; they loved it so much, they’ve come back with a vengeance! After researching different things I could try, I settled on this. I read reviews before I purchased so knew what I was getting. Yes the pot is small and seems only half full when you first open it, but I only have one affected tree so it didn’t matter to me. I applied liberally with an old spoon around the whole trunk and have enough left over to keep topping up if needed or to re-do next year. The grease is thick, sticky and went on easy enough. The hardest part of applying was trying to get all the ants out of the way! If you’re using to deter ants and they’re absolutely relentless as in my case and you care about nature as I do, I’d recommend applying at dawn or after dusk when ants are least active. The product was effective immediately, the ants crawling up the trunk were confused and couldn’t go past the grease. It’s been 3 days and there’s just the odd hopeful ant visiting, they realise there’s no way up and they’re gradually moving out. The grease even withstood a whole day of heavy rain yesterday and is still doing its job. Overall I’m really happy and there’s hope for this years apple harvest!
Review: Keeps ants off fruit trees - Last year aphids decimated my cherry tree thanks to a helping hand from the ants so I bought this grease to keep the pesky ants at bay. It has certainly done the job this year and lasted all season from just one application in early spring shortly after leaf bud. I applied about a 5cm tall band of grease to the base of a young tree about 10cm from the soil line with a plastic cutlery knife which was quick and easy. It is very viscous so easy to control and apply but could potentially make a mess if you're not using a suitable tool. I managed to get a tiny bit on my sleeve but it washed straight off. The ants were forlornly scurrying about at the base of the tree but were unable to bridge the barrier up the trunk of the tree all season. Excellent product, will definitely buy again when I run out which could be a while as there is plenty left over for next season and beyond.

## Features

- PROTECT YOUR TREES: The tree trunk is the main thoroughfare for many pest attacks, but fruit and other trees can be protected with Fruit Tree Grease.
- PREVENTS PEST CLIMBING: Providing a simple and effective means of monitoring pest activity, Fruit Tree Grease stops pests in their tracks by preventing them from climbing the trunk.
- EFFECTIVE MONITORING TRAP: Easy-to-use and simply brush-on, apply in autumn (September/October) and renew in February for continuous protection.
- STOPS WINTER AND MARCH MOTHS: Containing rapeseed oil, Fruit Tree Grease stops pests such as the Winter Moth and the Mottled Umber Moth, which invade fruit trees from late October to early December, and the March Moth in early spring.
- COMPLETE TREE BARRIER: Fruit Tree Grease will trap the female, wingless adults, providing a good indication of the level of infestation on each tree. Apply around the base of the tree, approximately 45cm above ground level, and replenish as required to maintain stickiness.
