   I am the one who posted the note about Stickem Special.  The address and
phone number I have for them is as follows:
 
SEABRIGHT LABORATORIES
4026 Harlan Street
Emeryville, CA  94608
(800) 284) 7363  or   (415) 655-3126
 
   Stickem Special, I have found, persists as a sticky material much longer
than Tanglefoot and does not damage young fruit trees as much as
Tanglefoot.  One can use surgical gloves to administer the "goop" (Stickem
Special) and have quite an effective barrier for some time.
 
   That company has been most helpful to me.  I suggest you contact them
directly; they may have some European connection.
