Wasps eating apples

prospect · 2011-08-08 20:40:20

Little buggers are eating my apples on the trees. I tried leaving some around on top of the tree stakes and on the fence, but they seem to prefer the ones still hanging on the tree. Has anyone any tips for saving my fruit that do not involve chemicals.

Pray for continuous rain during daylight hours from now until they are ready for picking.

Hi Prospect,
Try keeping wasps off your fruit by tying lots of nylons tights around them.will look a bit bizarre but really works a treat.
Good luck
