Birds and insects are attracted to fruit trees and can cause significant damage to them. That is why defending them using an EnviroBug Tree Defender is key. This fruit tree netting design keeps birds and insects from gaining access to your fruit and the trees, ensuring a good harvest.
Here, we describe how birds and insects damage fruit trees and how the EnviroBug Tree Defender can help.
What Damage Birds or Insects Can Cause to Fruit Trees?
Damage to trees from birds or insects can be prolific. Many can damage the fruit, eating them so that they become unusable, and then the fruits can drop to the ground, which can rot and cause further problems.
There can be significant damage to the trees themselves. Birds can break branches and damage leaves, causing the tree to become infected or die if there is too much damage. Insects can do more damage by boring the tree and eating it from inside. Some birds will also actively tap into the trees to get to these insects.
The Best Solution for Protecting Fruit Trees
There are many solutions to help people protect their fruit trees. However, the best solution is often to prevent the birds and insects from accessing the fruit trees in the first place.
Anti-Bird and Insect Netting for Fruit Trees
Anti-bird and insect netting for fruit trees is an effective way to protect the plants from damage. It adds a protective barrier that birds cannot access. It also has small enough gaps that prevent insects from gaining access.
The nets can be effective all year round, require no batteries or sunlight to charge and are effective against all the creatures. In addition, they do not just protect the trunk, branches and leaves, but they can protect the fruit on the tree.
Key Features of the Insect and Bird Netting for Fruit Trees
- Ultra-Fine Mesh: Effectively blocks birds, insects (including fruit flies and wasps) and other pests while permitting essential sunlight and moisture to reach your plants.
- UV Stabilised Polyethylene: Ensures durability and resistance to degradation caused by sunlight. Ensuring the long life of your net.
- Drawstring Closure: Allows for a snug fit around the tree trunk, preventing pests from entering underneath the net.
- Zippered Access: Provides a simple way to care for and harvest your plants without removing the entire net.
Uses for the Fruit Tree Netting
The fruit tree netting is fantastic at protecting trees when producing fruit, and you want to prevent animals from gaining access. In addition, you can use the anti-bird and insect netting to protect young trees as they grow, when they're most vulnerable time for them.
Specific Recommendations
There are numerous recommendations for the proper use of tree netting. For instance, you want to ensure to apply the net before insects and birds attempt to nest or access trees, such as in the latter stages of winter and early spring.
You should also look at doing periodic maintenance on the net. Sometimes damage is done during garden maintenance and it can be possible for net movement during maintenance. Regular checks can help you repair the net or move it back to completely cover the tree.
