NYLON MAGGOT BARRIERS

NYLON MAGGOT BARRIERS

Protect your fruit from pesky insects.
Maggot Barriers are a proven alternative to pesticides, traps and paper bags, and will protect fruit from infestations of apple maggot flies and codling moths. Apply barrier when fruitlet is smaller than 1 inch in diameter and they will expand with the growth of the fruit, creating a physical barrier to insect infestations. Maggot Barriers are made from 100% nylon.

Heavy - Heavier weave is double the thickness for larger fruit, or for heavy infestations of codling moths.

Apples saved!

Apple maggots ruined all my apples until I discovered these barriers. They really work and are worth the time it takes to apply them.

Great Organic Option

Good quality product. The sock-like bag is easier to use than paper bag alternatives. Even so, there is some finesse required to secure the bag to the apple stem without inadvertently removing the apple from the tree. Haven't tested the product through the season, so can't speak yet to concerns other have expressed about being an effective barrier. Anticipating its effectiveness, I plan to order again.

Please find a light weight barrier

I agree with Sandra regarding the Heavy weight material. I’ve been using such maggot barriers for years now. Originally I found only a very light weight nylon material that worked very well. It was easier to attach to fruitlets, stayed in place just fine and let in plenty of sun. The heavy weight material is harder to put on and secure to stem, is very thick and sometimes keeps apples from ripening as well and falls off more readily during growing season. I like to buy from Territorial but have had to order such barriers elsewhere for a few years now.

They went right through the barrier

Pests went right through the barrier . Some were fine but a high number still got maggots last year.
