PEST CONTROL

ENVIROMESH

Agralan Enviromesh is a fine mesh netting,woven from u.v. stabilised polyethylene.

The mesh size is 1.35mm. The weight is around 55g per
sq. metre, light passage 90% and air passage 75%.

The material is very durable and should last at least 10 years.

Enviromesh excludes such insect pests as cabbage root fly, carrot fly, caterpillars, aphids and leaf miners, as well as birds, rabbits, hares anddeer.

I t also provides protection against wind (reducing water loss) hail and autumn frost.

It will also reduce the occurrence of soiling from rain and irrigation water splash.

Enviromesh is now available in widths up to 15m. New technology means these sheets are produced without seams.

SPECIAL NETS

Fine netting woven from u.v. stabilised polyethylene fibre. It is lightweight, very strong and durable.

Light transmission and air movement are good, but vary according to mesh size.

Mesh sizes are available for exclusion of leafminers, aphids and thrips.

S48 mesh size 0.8 x 0.8 mm excludes leafminer and whitefly

S64 mesh size 0.6 x 0.6 mm excludes aphids

SE160 mesh size 0.17 x 0.37 mm excludes thrips

Uses

For insect proofing glasshouse vents and doors and the creation of isolation/quarantine areas for flying insect pests.

Also for the total or partial cladding of tunnels to create ventilated, pestfree environments.

ENVIROMESH ‘ULTRA FINE’

Enviromesh ‘Ultra Fine’ is a very fine mesh netting woven from u.v. stabilised polyethylene.

The mesh size is 0.8 x 0.8mm.

The netting is very durable with a life expectancy of at least ten years.

Uses

Enviromesh ‘Ultra Fine’ will protect against flea beetle. Long term covering (more than five weeks) is not recommended unless supported on hoops. Light weight (17g) fleece will also protect against flea beetle, but the limited ventilation may encourage disease and on delicate crops wind ‘rubbing’ may damage the crop. Enviromesh ‘Ultra Fine’ is considerably more durable and is likely to be used many times over.

PROTECTION NETTING

Lightweight and durable, anti-bird netting, very
effective against pigeons.

The mesh size is 7mm x 7mm which will also provide protection against certain butterflies and moths (including cabbage white, turnip moth and silver y).

May be laid over plants without additional support.

The small mesh also means that it can be used

BUZZLINE BIRDSCARER

Buzzline Birdscarer effectively deters most species of bird. Simple to install, no running costs, harmless to birds and other wildlife, protects fruit, vegetables, seedlings, buildings and boats.

Reel size – 500 metres

INSECT BARRIER GLUE

Vine weevil and ant deterrent.The glue may be used to create a barrier against vine weevil and other crawling pests (e.g. winter moths, ants,
earwigs etc.)

It may be applied to a strip of PVC tape so that it may be easily removed.

In the greenhouse individual plant pots or bench areas may be protected.

Alternatively the whole greenhouse may be protected by running a treated band around the base.

For protection of trees it may be applied direct to the trunk as a band, as long as the bark is mature. Where the bark is not mature, it should be applied to a protective band.

For field grown strawberries, glue should be applied to a ‘fence’ of polythene or Enviromesh.

For strawberries grown on suspended tables, it should be applied to the support poles.

Supplied in cartridges to fit a standard
‘mastic gun’.

AIK 500

AIK is an insect killer which kills all insects at all growth stages.

It is particularly useful for the control of nuisance insects such as ants.

• Kills by physical action – not classified as an insecticide

• Kills insects at all stages – including eggs and pupae

• Kills insects resistant to traditional insecticides

• Made from natural, food grade plant oils

• May be safely used in ‘food areas’ and around animals
