Experienced gardeners treat raspberries for pests in early spring and harvest a crop free of insects in summer.

While there is snow, you can't spray the bushes. But you shouldn't hesitate either, so you need to act at the first opportunity.

Raspberries should not be treated against pests during flowering. Experienced gardeners have named the preparations used against insects on raspberries.

How to treat the bushes

1. Two products will help against gall midges, raspberry bud moths, stem flies and aphids: Karbofos and Actellic.

2. "Fitoverm" protects against thrips, aphids, and mites.

3. When leaf rollers, geometers, fire moths or sawflies appear on raspberries year after year, “Lepidocid” will help.

4. "Nemabakt" will protect you from glassworms and weevils.

5. "Bitoxibacillin" is used when raspberry bushes are attacked by spider mites.

Some gardeners are in no hurry to treat the garden with special preparations. They try to find a solution to the problem in folk remedies. Each insect has its own recipe or universal compositions.
