Alternative Strategy: Adhesive sprays were tested for reducing populations of T. japonensis. A combination (known as C-4) of 70% castor oil, 25% damar resin and 5% carnauba wax remained sticky and toxic to gall midges for a long period. The rate of gall formation on treated trees was 32.8-59.4%, compared with 97.13% gall formation on untreated trees (Woo and Shim, 1979)
