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.
Horse Chestnut Leaf Miner Trap
Horse Chestnut Leaf Miner Trap
from £11.95
The Horse Chestnut Leaf Miner Trap helps preserve that bastion of the English countryside, the horse chestnut tree, from leaf miners which burrow into the tree's leaves and cause untold damage - including a reduction in conker size.

The horse chestnut miner trap trap uses a pheromone to lure and catch adult moths and drastically reduces the population, leaving females unfertilised and far fewer eggs which hatch into the leaf miner or caterpillar. Simply add the pheromone to the robust and weather protected conker tree miner trap and hang in the tree in April, remembering to clear the leaf miner trap out and replace the pheromone lure every 6 weeks between April and August - the 3 lure and trap package will cover this period. The results should be fairly evident and you can enjoy collecting large conker from your valuable horse chestnut trees for years to come!

Raspberry Beetle Trap
Raspberry Beetle Trap
from £16.95
Use this innovative Raspberry Beetle Trap, which doubles as a monitoring kit, to detect the early signs of raspberry beetle by placing it 1m above ground, 4-6 weeks before first flower during April to July. The Raspberry Beetle Trap helps to improve the timing and efficiency of spray treatment, thereby reducing crop damage or any unnecessary spray application.

Attracted by the incorporated attractant lure and colour of the cross vanes (simulating a giant raspberry flower), the beetles fly into the cross vane, fall into the funnel-shaped catchment area and down into the holding bucket below. If you discover 5-10 beetles per trap per week in the period from beetle emergence until onset of first flowering then use the Insect Killer Spray opposite. The attractant lure in the Raspberry Beetle Trap lasts 6 weeks, the length of a normal raspberry season, and a second replacement lure is provided for extended use; further individual replacement lures are available separately.

Please note that the base section of the Raspberry Beetle Trap is green and not white as displayed in the picture to the left.

Codling Moth Trap
Codling Moth Trap
from £7.95
Codling Moth Traps can be used earlier in the year (from May onwards) to catch and monitor male codling moths. This helps warn of caterpillar attack later in the year and reduces the amount of fertilised females, leading to fewer caterpillars. If adult moths are caught in the Codling Moth Trap then follow up with our Nemasys Codling Moth Killer nematodes to seize control in early autumn.

The trap is uniquely designed without sticky inserts and requires only one pheromone lure per season. The Codling Moth Trap, which covers 1/2 acre or 16-20 trees, can be re-used each year and replacement lures are available for season after season use.

The Build-a-Ball Aluminium Vegetable Cage Kits with Fitted Covers save valuable gardening time and effort when protecting your home grown vegetable crops; not only is the Build-a-Ball and aluminium tubing framework easy and quick to assemble, but our exclusive Fitted Covers mean no more wrestling with ungainly sections of netting!

Create the 1.2m high vegetable cage by simply slotting the long lasting 16mm diameter aluminium tubing uprights and 12.7mm diameter top rods into the durable build-a-ball connectors before easing a soft knitted 7mm mesh butterfly netting cover or an ultra fine 0.25mm x 0.8mm insect-mesh cover over the top, pegging it securely in the soil (pegs not supplied but our ground pegs fit the bill perfectly!). These covers are a perfect fit - a real time saver for accessing or closing up the plot and they look incredibly neat too. The butterfly net cover is complete with stitched seams, making it easy to pull on and off the frame as one piece; alternatively the fine insect-mesh cover features tailored velcro seams for direct access to plants, without needing to remove the cover from the frame, and also has a custom-made hem with reinforced eyelets to accept ground pegs without making holes in the material.

The Aluminium Vegetable Cage Kits with Fitted Covers are available in three sizes – there’s also an Insect Mesh Cover Corner Raised Bed option so whatever your shape, there's no excuse for not covering up - and have been designed to fit inside our Timber Raised Beds; you’ll find the bed sizes listed below but there’s no reason why the vegetable cage kits and fitted covers can’t be used in open ground too – you’ll find the actual framework and cover sizes below as well!
