The Gardening Naturally carrot fly fence netting is designed to help prevent carrot flies from laying their eggs in carrot roots and other crops. Carrot flies fly low to the ground and cannot fly above one metre, making this carrot fly fence netting an effective barrier to reduce infestations in carrots, parsnips, and celery. Carrot flies are a common pest that attack carrots and other root vegetables by laying their larvae in the roots. Once infested, the carrot can become discoloured and start to rot. By installing this carrot fly fence netting around your growing area, you create a one metre high wall that carrot flies are unable to fly over. The mesh also blocks some of the scent from carrots, making your crops less attractive to carrot flies. This helps reduce the chances of infestation and keeps your vegetable patch healthier throughout the growing season. Best to set the netting up using wooden stakes or aluminium poles.
