Sorry not quite sure what you mean. Snail barrier perhaps?

[blondiewonder]

Sorry I should have been more specific, no not snails but ants 😀

A line of vaseline on what? What are you trying to protect, and is it inside or outside? Or do you need a way to stop ants coming into the house?

Rolls of fly paper perhaps,

Failing that my wife's bread and butter pudding has special adhesive powers.

Someone in this room that I am in has suggested "Vic".
Don't laugh, it has its merits, especially if its chilly.

I'm really afraid to suggest anything................in case I have to ban myself

Think this is what you want:

Grease bands/RHS Gardening

If you don't want to use bands, you could maybe try this:

Vitax 200g Fruit Tree Grease: Amazon.co.uk: Garden & Outdoors

[veggiechicken]

Maybe something like this Boltac Greasebands - Bayer Garden

When I lived in Spain a few years ago you could buy something called ZUM. It was an aerosol and ants would not cross it.

A glue trap ... Is there anything more cruel?

A lump hammer?.

They're either feeding off sap from the tree or farming aphids. Either way, it won't harm the tree nor reduce the crop of apples.
