What is a Greenhouse Insect Net?

Greenhouse Insect nets are fine mesh fabrics made from UV treated polyethylene compounds. They form a barrier at greenhouse vents, doors and side walls, so insects stay outside while air and light pass through. Farmers also call them anti-insect nets or pest control nets. The mesh number shows the number of holes per inch, therefore a higher mesh number means smaller holes and tighter protection.

Insect nets are important in the design of crop production structures such as greenhouses and net houses. Once you fix the net on all openings, pests cannot reach the crop. As a result, kales, capsicum and tomatoes grow clean and spraying reduces. Most importantly, insect net also blocks the insects that spread diseases.

Types of Bug Nets in Kenya and their Applications

Different insects need different mesh levels, so you should choose the net depending on the size of the pest you want to stop.

• 17 mesh net – suitable for big insects such as beetles and caterpillars.
• 25 mesh net – best for keeping away fruit flies in gardens.
• 32 mesh net – preventing fruit flies in capsicum or peppers.
• 40 mesh net – control of whiteflies and aphids in field crops.
• 50 mesh net – leaf miners and whiteflies.
• 75 mesh net – control of thrips and other tiny insects.

In addition, finer mesh reduces airflow. Therefore, you must widen the vents when you choose 50 mesh or 75 mesh.

How Much are Greenhouse Insect Nets in Kenya?

The price of greenhouse insect nets in Kenya depends on a few factors. Mesh density comes first: high density net uses more yarn, so it costs more than low density meshes for the same roll size. Width also matters, since a wider roll covers more area. Weight counts too, as a roll of 8 to 12 kg carries more material and lasts longer in hot areas such as Garissa.

Additionally, UV treatment adds a small cost but it protects your investment, especially in areas that experience high levels of sunlight exposure. Finally, the supplier determines the quality. Aqua Hub Kenya sources nets from best manufacturers in Kenya, therefore you get durable fabric at affordable prices.

Cheap nets tear fast and you are forced to buy new nets often. In the long run, it is better to buy higher quality nets at a slightly higher price point that will also last for multiple seasons.

Features of insect nets that determine quality include:

• Mesh structure: the mesh holes are smaller than the size of the insects to block.
• UV resistance: made with UV resistance reinforcement.
• Flexibility: easy to fold and package, thus fits various greenhouse shapes.
• Durability: lasts more than 3 years while still in good condition.
• Strong fabric: made with tear resistant material.

Purchasing Bug Nets in Kenya; What Should You Consider?

To ensure successful crop protection, you need to buy quality and durable nets. There are a few checks you must do to ensure that you are buying the best net for your crops, including:

• Check whether the insect net is UV treated before purchasing it. UV treated nets perform best even in very hot or cold environments.
• Look at reviews to ensure you can trust the supplier. For example, google profiles and customer reviews.

Considerations when looking for the right insect net in Kenya:

• type of insects you are targeting : the right mesh level depends on the target insect size.
• insect net material: quality nets are made from UV polyethylene compounds.
• ease of installation: consider how easy it is to fix the net on your structure before you select it.
• weight: heavier net lasts longer, so check the kilograms per roll.
• size: measure every vent and opening first, then choose the roll width that matches.
• price: compare the cost per roll and per square metre. Quality is more important than price, and Aqua Hub LTD gives both.

Benefits of Crop Protection Using Bug Nets

Farmers who buy greenhouse insect nets can expect a number of benefits including:

• organic crop production: insect nets are one of the organic methods of combating pests, so you reduce the use of pesticides once you install them.
• long term performance: the UV additive makes the net tolerant under extreme sunlight.
• optimal growing conditions: the breathable design enables air circulation and works as ventilation in greenhouses and shade houses.
• no effect on pollination: wind and water still enter the structure, so plant growth processes continue.
• soil and water safety: fewer chemicals means less pollution of soil and water.
• top quality produce: clean crops fetch better prices in the market.
• high yield: controlled growing conditions push yields up.
• cost reduction: no expenditure on pesticides saves money every season.

Uses of Insect Nets in Kenya

Uses of insect netting in Kenya keep growing every year, and farmers now apply them in many ways including:

• greenhouse ventilation: fix the net on side walls and roof vents to keep pests out.
• seedling propagation: protects avocado, coffee and vegetable seedlings from insects.
• draping fruit farms: keeps insects and birds away from fruits.
• Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming: used to construct structures for rearing the flies.
• solar dryers: prevents insect entry in the ventilation of the dryer.
• balconies: keeps away bees and wasps.
• windows and doors: stops flies and mosquitoes from entering the house.
• outdoor sitting areas: gives a comfortable space free of insects.
• food stores: keeps flies away from stored products.

How to Install Insect Net on a Greenhouse

How you a greenhouse insect net is installed depends on the specific application. Proper installation ensures that your insect net lasts for a long time while properly protecting your crop. In general, there are a number of steps that should be followed for greenhouse insect net installation such as:

1. Build a strong structure first to anchor the net. For a metallic structure, erect steel pipes and join the roofing pipes using tapping screws. A wooden structure is cost-effective and uses strong wooden poles.
2. Measure every vent, door and side wall opening before you cut the net.
3. Fix the net on the side wall and roof ventilation of the greenhouse.
4. Stretch the net tight, since loose net flaps and tears in the wind of Eldoret.
5. Overlap the joints and seal the edges so no gap remains for insects.
6. For fruit gardens, drape or wrap the net over the trees when they start developing flowers.
7. Inspect the net every month and repair small holes immediately.
