Exclude ants, certain weevils, slugs, snails, and certain other flightless pests by applying commercially available sticky material on bench legs. Where indicated by the arrows coat the inside of containers inverted over the top of the legs or blocks on which bench tops rest. Coating the containers keeps sticky material out of the way and keeps it from collecting debris or becoming fouled.
