how can i prevent guava moth in my feijo...

LindaO

The tree is in North Sydney and I’m prevented from topping it so I could net it. Is there a suitable trap available here as there is in NZ?

it’s distressing to sweep up so much fruit and bin it when they are currently $29 in the fruit shop!

Hello @LindaO

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about protecting the fruit of your feijoa tree.

I suggest having a look at these discussions - Alternative to bird netting! by @DIYgals and How to stop bugs eating my Guava fruit? by @AlejoGC. Both discussions have suggested a form of fruit protection using a fine mesh fruit bag or a resealable sandwich bag. These have been tried and tested and does not require any chemical spray to protect the fruit. This I think would be the be the best way to deter guava moths from attacking your feijoa tree and its fruits.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
