2 Considerations: Choose the Right Garden Insect Netting

Insect netting provides against pests, including beetles, stink bugs and grasshoppers, etc., as well as light shading, and bird or hail protection. But the premise of playing these roles is to choose the appropriate nets according to different situations.

The basic situation of the selection of insect netting, it is mainly based on the situation of the vegetable field and the needs of different crops and different seasons.

1. Choice of Size

Rational selection of nets according to the pests to be prevented.

The size of the insect netting is determined by the number of mesh, which can be interpreted as density. The difference in size is to correspond to the different pests that need to be controlled.

For example, we can use a relatively small number of mesh insect holes to control some moths and butterflies. Conversely, for smaller pests such as whiteflies, it is necessary to use a net with denser gaps to prevent them from entering through the holes.

2. Choice of Color

         i.Pests

Some insects have a clear tendency to gravitate toward specific colors. For example, thrips, which have a strong tendency to the color blue, can be easily attracted by the blue insect nets. While this does not happen when using white insect netting.

       ii.Environment

When choosing the color of the nets, in addition to considering the pests themselves, you should also consider the impact of the sunlight.

For example, black insect nets are effective for shading and are not suitable for use in winter or on consecutive cloudy days.

Based on the above two points, combining the actual situation of your vegetable or fruit orchards to choose the insect protection net can make the net play the role you need.

Don't forget to buy from a company with after-sales and quality assurance. Some cheaply available nets may have holes in easily overlooked places and have a short service life.
