How is the tanglefoot applied to the tree trunk?
It’s best to smooth down the ridges of bark before applying the tanglefoot. The band of tanglefoot should be 4-6 inches wide, 1/16 of an inch thick and 5-6 feet above ground. When smoothing down the bark be careful not to damage the live bark underneath. Apply a continuous band of tanglefoot to the scraped bark using a putty knife or old paint brush.
