As you know, these insects love sweets.

Often they are even capable of ruining the harvest in order to get their favorite delicacy for themselves.

But you can save the grapes. To do this, you need to use special preparations.

But during the ripening period of berries, you cannot use chemicals, but you can choose other effective means.

Experienced gardeners recommend treating plantations with liquid smoke.

Any natural products with a strong smell that will repel pests will also help. This could be the aroma of pine needles or even horseradish.

But it is worth remembering the disadvantages of such treatments. The fact is that the fruits may end up with an unpleasant taste.

For this reason, experienced gardeners recommend planting grape varieties that wasps don't like. For example, you can pay attention to the varieties "Cardinal", "Moldova", "Blagovest", "Matrix" or "Talisman".
