Blue sticky trap – made of recyclable plastic with glue on both sides to catch insects. Do not use glue that is too strong when building your own: this will also catch small birds because the feathers will stick to the glue. Often birds clinging to a sticky trap die from exhaustion. In the past, glue traps with strong glue were used to catch (singing) birds. The European Union has banned the practice since 1979 as cruel and dangerous to endangered species.
Blue sticky traps are commercially available.
