Nothing better than having a fruit tree in your garden!
The only problem is that the insects tend to pounce on the fruits before we have time to harvest them...
They nibble them by making small holes in them, which causes them to rot...
Fortunately, there is an effective and easy-to-make trap to protect your fruit trees from insects.
The trick is to mix white vinegar, sugar and a banana peel in a bottle . Watch:
- 1 glass of white vinegar
- 200 g of sugar
- a banana peel
- empty 2 liter bottle
- 1 glass of water
- string
1. In the empty bottle, put the white vinegar.
2. Add the sugar and stir well.
3. Cut the banana peel into small pieces.
4. Slip them into the bottle.
5. Add the glass of cold water.
6. Shake well again.
7. Tie the string around the neck.
8. Hang the bottle on a sturdy branch of your fruit tree.
And There you go ! Your insect trap to protect your fruit trees is already ready :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
Goodbye butterflies, flies, worms and caterpillars that ravage your fruit trees!
The sugar and banana mixture will attract insects and trap them in the bottle.
You don't even need to buy commercial chemical insecticides or pheromone traps.
Once the trap is stale, replace it, approximately every 10 days.
You can also put one at the base of your trees to catch insects that do not fly, such as ants, for example.
If you have a small fruit tree, or one with fragile branches, take a small 1/2 liter bottle.
It will be less heavy on the branches, so just adjust the quantities.
The banana has a very strong odor that attracts insects. By breaking down in the vinegary and sweet liquid, it will be even more exacerbated.
Sugar also acts as bait, especially for fruit flies, which are fond of it.
The vinegar reinforces the decomposition of the banana which will release its smell more quickly. It also attracts some gnats.
