Fruit Tree Protection

These are the best bags I’ve found to keep birds and other critters off my fruit and veggies, cheap, simple and easy to use. Just the right size for most things I grow.

Now these were what I wanted! Easy to use, washable. Really fit for veggies, fruit and Irish Spring to pu on the porch to keep flies and mosquitoes away.

I like these bags! I use them for strawberries. It definitely keeps the bugs away. They're somewhat easy to install, and reusable. They're also good for making it easy to spot the strawberries. Sometimes I pass by strawberries are difficult to see under the leaves, but the bags help identify those locations. The only drawback, if you can call it that, is the green color. I was putting the bags on ASAP, but I find that some were not ripening up so well. I was thinking that maybe the green was filtering some beneficial wavelengths of sun light, and that maybe the white bags would be better.( I'll get white for next year and update) As for now, I try to put them on just before the bugs start chomping on the strawberries, so the effect isn't as pronounced.

We put the formed but small clusters of grapes in these bags in the first part of July this year. By August when the grapes were ripe and ready to go--we were so excited with how absolutely fast and easy it was to harvest our grapes because it was obvious where the bags were but it was so so nice that they hadn't been eaten by critters. The clusters I hadn't covered were all eaten and gone but we got our own lovely little harvest. All my neighbors complained about their poor harvest this year because of the birds but ours was great!

There are plenty of excellent reviews left by other customers on these drawstring fruit bags, so there’s no needs for me to repeat those good reviews. However, I just wanted to point out a few pros of using these bags: Super cheap and are easy to close/open the bag’s opening, by pulling/releasing the two drawstrings with little effort. The lightness screen fabric allows good air circulations, sunlight penetrations, and won’t retain water after rain. Though (Cons) the green color will fade away and change into a lighter (white) color after roughly about two months used in full sun. I’ve successfully used these bags to protect fruits, tomatoes, limes from those nasty small critters, birds. And I would recommend using these bags to protect your precious fruits.

I bought these to try and protect the apples in my two small apple tree apples from coddling moths without using pesticides like I did in the past. They have draw strings and were pretty easy to cinch up on the small apples. I ended up installing 400 bags in probably four hours, when the apples were a little larger than the size of a quarter. RESULTS: The bags were about 80% effective in preventing coddling moth damage. It would have probably been better if I'd installed them when they were the size of a dime. They had the added benefit of protecting the apples pretty well from damage by birds, racoons and deer. That result is better than my past results using pesticides, where at least a third to a half of the apples were either infested or eaten by pests. CONCLUSIONS: The bags are easy to install and remove, but this method does add additional time compared to spraying. They are reusable, so I plan to install them again next year. Overall, very happy with the purchase and results.

We have a small home apple orchard and have had trouble with squirrels stealing fruit, birds pecking the fruit, and worms in the apples. Late in the season I decided to order these bags to protect the fruit that was remaining. The bags have drawstrings and are easy to fasten over the apples. So far there seem to be doing the job and I haven't lost any additional fruit. A bonus is that if an apple falls off the tree, I can easily see the bag in the grass, and the apple still seems protected from insects. The bags seem pretty strong and I expect to use them for at least several years. Next year I will try to get them on before the codling moths arrive and see if I can prevent the worms.

It is pretty easy to use. The color is good. I tried it with the pear tree. It did protect some pears. However, still, many pears coverd with a bag were still damaged by insects etc.

MUY BUENA CALIDAD
