| Insect Traps, Barriers and Sprays |
 |
Insect Traps, Barriers and Sprays - trapping problem garden insect pests on the wing and preventing them from damaging your valuable fruit, vegetables and decorative plants is something every gardener wants to do and this early interception benefits both the garden and greenhouse. In this case, prevention is the best form of cure and the introduction of these various insect-attracting traps should certainly free the garden of these aerial invaders. As well as traps, we've got physical barriers for you to try out - including fitted insect mesh covers, glue bands, barrier grease, strawberry mulch mats and cabbage collars - and sprays, made from naturally derived plant oils.
Wasps, which although don't cause a great deal of damage but are particularly irritating later in the summer, are targeted too and we certainly haven't forgotten the under-attack fruit grower; codling and plum moth monitors will give a good indication of when this pest is prevalent and the afore-mentioned glue bands have protected many a fruit tree in their time. |

Fli Trap and Wasp Trap |
 |
£20.95
|
The summer holidays are a time for being outdoors, unfortunately there are two insects, which can impair our enjoyment of being outside in the summer; Wasps and Flies! Wasps can be viewed as beneficial insects early in the summer, as they use some pests like caterpillars to feed their nests. However once the colony is fed later in the summer the workers become scavengers, this is when they target picnics, BBQs and pub gardens. |

Waspinator (Twin Pack) |
 |
£10.95
|
Waspinator is a visual wasp repellent that utilises wasps’ territorial nature to scare them away. Hang it over the BBQ, garden table, or from a tree, and it will create a Wasp Free Zone of around 40ft diameter. It can be used in the garden, on picnics or BBQs, or at the beach. Use it in beer gardens, school playgrounds, or restaurant open air dining areas. Wasps are very territorial, they know to keep well away from the nest of another colony - if a wasp gets too close to another nest, the nest’s defenders will kill it. When a foraging wasp sees a Waspinator, the horizontal pattern makes it look fibrous and layered, so the wasp thinks it’s an enemy nest, and flies away. Proven in scientific field tests, supported by leading Entomologists, with over 250,000 delighted customers so far.
