Grapes are a favorite treat of wasps. Therefore, they flock to them from all sides. Because of this, not only the appearance of the grapes, but also the yield suffers. To protect the clusters from wasps, it is necessary to use effective methods.
There are several ways to help protect grapes from wasps. The most common and effective is spraying with table vinegar. It must be poured into the spray bottle. You can dilute the vinegar with water. Then spray the grapes with the finished composition. Please note that such processing lasts for 2 weeks. Therefore, after this time it will be necessary to spray again with table vinegar.
Gauze bags and smoke
Many gardeners put spacious gauze bags on each bunch to protect the grapes from wasps. They are made manually from one layer. Be sure to take into account the size of the clusters during this. In the future, it is required to ensure that the grapes do not begin to rot.
An effective tool for repelling wasps is smoke. It is recommended to allocate a place for a fire on your site. For him, prepare environmentally friendly garbage. It will need to be set fire daily. However, if you are used to cooking food on the grill, then making fires at this time is mandatory, because even without it smoke will be emitted in the required amount.
Beer cans and traps
To distract the wasps from the grapes, you can hang tin jars with a small amount of beer next to it. Then these insects will immediately fly up to the hoppy drink, ignoring the delicious clusters.
Traps can also be made for wasps. Take a few plastic bottles, cut off the top of them so that you get containers with a height of about 13-15 cm. Pour a small amount of honey or sugar syrup into them. Be sure to add an insecticide there. Then place traps near the grapes, but make sure that they are out of the reach of poultry and animals.
