Please avoid all glue-type products, including lanternfly tape for trees. The urban wild is rich with life, including birds, squirrels, bats and loads of native insects. They all get caught on these traps. If you find a bird or other animal stuck to a glue trap or covered in glue, please don’t try to remove or clean them yourself. This can further damage the feathers and cause added stress to the animal. Instead, cover the remainder of the sticky surfaces of the trap with paper towels and find a wildlife rehabber immediately. If you’re outside NYC, visit
ahnow.org to locate a rehabber near you.
