Do I need to have at least two lingonberry plants in order for them to grow berries?

I made this recipie with palm oil. At starting its become sticky after 24 hour is became not sticky. Whats wrong i have done?

Great video! I always find it to be a pain to paint tanglefoot on my bug balls. Can it be heated up in a pot/pan to make it less viscous for the application? Also, what is the best solvent to remove tanglefoot off bug balls at the end of the season? Thanks!

awesome! Thank you, I live in Alberta Canada, looking up some methods of my Swedish Ancestors

Mine came out shiny and got hard . Didn’t work

This is awesome! Tanglefoot (or like products) are next to impossible to find lately, and they're excellent for creating barriers around trees for caterpillars and ants.

Dang this whole time I've been growing lima berries

Mine is not sticky enough what am I doing wrong. Followed recipe exactly and watched flies go on it the fly away.

I thought there would be a ton of videos showing how to make tanglefoot. Yours is the only one I found. Thank you. I found that the beeswax also functions as a surfactant meaning it helps to dissolve the pine resin. Another tip. The Dollar Tree stores sell plastic apples. It, when coated with the tanglefoot, can be used to help protecting the fruits on your apple trees. The greens ones seems attract the insects better than the red ones.

How long does it store in the container before its no longer useable? Ive had a tub of tanglefoot for atleast 4 years and still looks and works as good as day one when needed.

Could you substitute candle wax for beeswax?

Can you leave out the linseed oil don’t have that

I’m thinking… heat it in a pan that I’m going to be keeping it in (or has a lid. Then when I run low, just make more in same pan to the existing formula. Should work???

For a video titled "How To Grow", there's surprisingly little mention of lighting requirements for these plants. If I missed it in there, could someone please let me know what time in the video that information was given? Thanks.

Great quality, detailed video. Thanks a lot, man.

How hot does the burner need to be to melt the resin?

Thank you. Excellent demo setup, filming, and explanation. Under rated video. I'm surrounded by pines and mosquitoes. I plan to make a sticky hat :)

Do this require certain “chill hours”? Would they fruit in zone 10b

Finally someone who is willing to take the time to share the proper recipe with us in great detail, I can't thank you enough dear man!

got a few questions about this tangle foot I like the idea We go through a lot of those sticky traps and to make them would sound good Now the question ❓ does the sticky stuff if made ahead of time have a shelf life about how long if .........

Do all ligonberries fruit? Or do the come in male and female plants

Excellent, thorough video. Thank you. What about the possibility of adding a volatile solvent after cool down in order to improve application. With time, the solvent evaporates, and should leave a stickier, adherent layer. I wonder if you have toyed with certain attractant chemicals, such as, sugar, etc.? Could they be added to the formula without dissipating the stickiness of the end product?

The real question is how sour are they?

100% gonna grow these

Do made this video people r looking for quick fast cheap ways to make traps not use entire weekend going to garage sales getting pots , strange materials!!

I was looking for regular house hold common items to make fly traps! But this guy talking about buying a number of different products and papers and ext ext !! I Don't know about anyone else but I know just getting the fly tape would be Ezer and faster and not take up hours to make! What in the blue hell is the purpose of this! Damn it and then listening to boring idiots just keep rambling!

This is great! Thanks Where do you buy linseed oil?

Hello, thank you for this recipe!! I went from having a beautiful & bountiful garden in Ohio , to every imaginable bug in Florida decimating my garden.Have spent a small fortune trying to protect my crop since I garden organically and refuse to use pesticides I do have a couple of questions. If I were to use yellow plastic folders, can this be wiped off when it becomes coated with bugs, so as not to keep buying new folders? Thank you!

here's my tip. WAIT. gotta wait a long time AFTER they turn blue. wait. more you wait better it is. Dont start eating when they turn blue. again, wait for 4 weeks or more after they turn blue, especially beast blizzard and beauty. Open it up and you should see red. If they dont stain, you picked up at the wrong time. Enjoy!

Thank you! :)

Are bees attracted to the beeswax - and will therefore get stuck as well?

They get sweet late in the season when they are softer.

I've been looking for a DIY version of Tanglefoot! And here you are! Thanks so much for posting this. I don't have any resin but I've got rosin! Old broken violin rosin. I somehow remembered that I'd saved some castor oil and found it stuck back in a cabinet. The only thing I don't have is beeswax. But, that's ok... I need it thin. I need to look for linseed oil. But, at least I've got the basics for gnat traps. Update: I made a concoction of old pulverized violin rosin, castor oil, and mineral oil. I heated it over a can of sterno gel (used for portable stoves) until it was mixed. It's a little thin but works! I smeared it on a little plastic cup and the lid of a jar. The lid has holes in it and the jar contains apple cider vinegar. The concoction works better than the vinegar. It's caught half a dozen in the first hour! So, again, thanks for the recipe! Oh, yeah. I also mixed in 1 teaspoon of sugar . . .

Get, boreal beauty, beast and blizzard. Plant beast in the middle and other two on the sides. Also plant them by the wall. Then they'll taste very good and will produce a lot. Enjoy ;)

Im from Sweden, living in Pennsylvania. Thank you so much for this informative video. I miss them and was thinking maybe just grow them here and searched youtube, your video was the first and best one that popped up.

Octopi sounds like fun!! What berries will you use?

That's awesome, make more videos 😅

Aww you garden with your cat to lol

I live in Michigan and find these grow well among my blueberry plants. Most likely because I have adjusted the soil to be more acidic.

deer and rabbit resistant?

They have a bit of a Boxwood look to them. I'm looking to do an edible ground cover underneath my apple tree - a soggier acidic area. Thanks!

Hi. Question.....how long does it last.will rain render ineffective or is it sort of waterproof

Linseed oil tends to cure pretty hard, and I imagine that would impact the stickiness of this material over time. Canola oil on the other hand turns really stretchy and rubbery. It's absolutely terrible as either a lubricant or a drying oil. But I imagine that canola might help tanglefoot retain its stickiness longer. It might be worth experimenting with.

thank you, thank you

As a pharma chemist i've been searching high and low for this formula thinking it was petrol and/or silicone based. And it not the usual crappy honey based recipe. Thank you sir!!

Can u use raw linseed oil?

Thanks for the lesson!

Truly amazing knowledge you are sharing, thank you so very much

Where’s the best place to get castor oil?

What do you have for politicians??
