how to keep bugs off organic fruit trees

[@andrewgascoigne3590]

In the UK, this is usually a common sign you have a aphid infestation. Ants don’t harm the plant, but farm the aphid.

[@headinagopherhole]

By blocking the ants, the aphids will be much more susceptible to predation by birds and insects. Ants defend the aphids and scale from yellow jackets, paper wasps, and other common predators.

How did you get the plastic wrap off with all the tanglefoot on it without it getting all over you?

[@bwbark]

Great tip on a product that works. Organic - the best way to go.

[@FarmersWife]

Thanks Bruce, I completely agree!

[@stevecochran2677]

If you get some on the tree, no worries It won't hurt anything . It works real good!!

[@icejunki]

The verdict is in, no ants from what I can see. Nice work

[@rogerlpeterson5536]

I wonder if you wrapped fly strips over Saran wrap. You would get same sticky result Very nice video !!

[@kelliestes502]

That’s exactly what I am gonna try

[@delinn2]

won't this damage the trunk of the tree being covered with the plastic wrap? Doesn't it need the air and sunlight?

[@sabahudinkonjuhovac6223]

I followed this video last year and plastic wrap killed two of my peach trees because I left it on trees the whole summer I guess that's why they don't have follow up video on how to remove it

[@tavyfavorite1149]

Good ideas. Thx for sharing. But I thought ant is good for pollinate flowers .

[@Pizza-gb1ch]

They are byt tgey alsi deliver aphids.

[@morrismuyundamundia2999]

what happens if you apply it directly to the stem?

[@oscarjumanan3052]

I have one of those too and it work’s pretty good for my white peach 👍🙂

[@ChrisVan]

I like how you call it your "baby" nectarine tree.

[@archanak8516]

How do u Remove the wrap for next season from tree?

[@BobRooney290]

curious, is there not a cone that you can get that is too slippery for any bug to crawl on and put it on the trunk? that would solve the problem, no? there's also caterpillar tape that is so slippery that no insect can pass the barrier.

[@jennamandell226]

I've read that ants are sometimes beneficial to fruit trees as they help pollinate.

[@maxrocks00]

Jenna Mandell they dont do much pollinating. usually they are having a beneficial relationship with another pest, in which the ants protect the pest from its natural predators (which are the pollinators) and the pest provides carbohydrates to the ant from your tree.

[@dawahaddict]

Beautiful thank you masha’Allah 😃

[@manuelalmendarez2232]

How about bugs eating peaches from the tree?

[@kendallricker9633]

any ideas on how to prevent wood bores, getting ready to put the baby trees in the ground and I want to be organic but also don't want bores...thanks for any ideas you could pass my way

[@iperalta7777]

Do you have any info for cherry trees? Keeping pest away from the trees?

[@TheFoxFamilyCreater246]

What insecticide or pesticide is safe for peach trees ?

[@steph49391]

Does this stop earwigs? Those are also attacking my tree

[@AAHomeGardening]

Lovely information, thank you

[@bettyboop1524]

Won't that stuff trap butterflies or hummingbirds????

[@carlos2044]

What about termites?

[@stephenw7298]

Hi from Scotland. Thank you for this advice!

[@johnscarboroughregenerativ7240]

Does anyone know a good organic method for plum curculio?

Thanks for sharing

[@robertoney6928]

Question Does the wrap sweat ? Will this cause mold

[@sabahudinkonjuhovac6223]

It will actually kill your trees . I followed this video last year and it killed two of my peach trees Plastic wrap is very bad for trees specially young ones

[@HKSM68W]

Any tips for flying insects? Flies and yellow jackets tear up my fig and mulberry

[@FarmersWife]

I haven't quite figured that one out yet. I will let you know when I do!

[@janet6421]

Here is a honeybee friendly trap for yellow jackets kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZ7RXpeYpah-gKM It doesn't work on Japanese hornets. They are too big

[@manuelalmendarez2232]

You said you used it the entire year.by that do you mean that the amount that you put on at the start is the same one that you used the entire year?doesnt the plastic you wrapped around underneath get loose?

[@steveflores9654]

Now what about flying bugs?

[@StubieWan]

In the UK we have a beer called Tanglefoot from the Badger Brewery. I can assure you that after a few tasters, you do end up with your feet in a tangle lol. On the vid I have to ask, is clingfilm the best thing to use? Does this not strangle the tree while it's growing. Can you not put the gum strait on the bark and still be organic? If not, is there not an organic gum you can get?

[@Gdre123]

Will this work with codling moths?

[@Pizza-gb1ch]

No. They fly. U might try apple cider vinegmi, water and molasses in a milk jug hung from the tree.

[@missedtheeggmcintyre417]

They after the mealy bugs that are in your tree

[@RightOne1]

Your graft union is too low, touching the ground. That will cause problems.

[@cajunman7389]

I cant believe you killed those ants

[@Sami-Nasr]

This irrigation is waste of water, within few days this thing will get dusty and will stop working

[@ecoangelsinfo]

I would like to work in harmony with nature instead of torturing it. Looking for something that deters instead of killing them.

[@GreenLadyDV]

💚💚💚

[@jimhendrix7776]

will dogs lick that tanglefoot off lol?

[@cajunman7389]

I cant believe you killed those ants
