An adhesive device is provided for removing small insects from a surface. The adhesive device contains an active ingredient for debilitating or killing insects. The adhesive device may be in the form of an adhesive tape, wherein a desired length of tape is applied to a surface so that the insect is covered and immobilized with the adhesive tape. After a predetermined amount of time, the insect is debilitated or killed and the tape is removed. Since the tape is easily removed and folded over the insect, it is possible to avoid direct contact with the insect.
