An adhesive roller construction for detritus removal comprising: an elongated strip, said strip having a backing layer with a first side and a second side and an adhesive layer overlying and covering said first side of said backing layer, said strip having a first end, a second end and two spaced apart side edges, wherein said strip is wound from said first end to said second end into a tubular cylindrical roller with said adhesive layer facing outwardly, a plurality of cut lines through said backing layer, each cut line extending laterally across said strip at intervals corresponding substantially to one revolution of said strip around said roller, a plurality of tabs formed in said backing layer at a predetermined lateral position spaced inwardly from said side edges of said strip, one tab protruding longitudinally outwardly relative to the longitudinal axis of said strip from each said cut line, a continuous strip of an adhesive release coating which extends longitudinally along said second side of said backing layer in alignment with said tabs, wherein said adhesive release coating minimizes adhesion of each said tab to an underlying adhesive layer so that said tab pops up from said roller.
