American Nettings & Fabric Big Bug Netting

Big Bug Netting solves the problem that standard bird netting doesn’t — the 1/6" mesh is small enough to exclude not just birds but Japanese beetles, cicadas, June bugs, and wasps that larger-mesh netting lets through freely. At 8' x 16', a single net covers a young fruit tree, a blueberry planting, a raised strawberry bed, or a garden pond. Lightweight polypropylene, resists sunlight degradation for multiple seasons of use. Deploy before pests emerge for best results — once damage has started, netting prevents further harm but can’t undo what’s already done.

1/6" Mesh — Small Enough for Insects, Not Just Birds

The mesh size is the critical spec. Standard bird netting typically runs 1/2" to 3/4" mesh — effective against birds but wide open to Japanese beetles, cicadas, and June bugs. Big Bug Netting’s 1/6" mesh excludes all of them while still letting light, air, and water through freely. For home orchardists dealing with Japanese beetle pressure on young apple and cherry trees, or cicada damage during emergence years, that finer mesh makes it the practical choice over standard netting.

Simple to Use — Drape, Secure, Done

Drape over the tree canopy and secure to the trunk, or lay over shrubs, raised beds, and berry plantings and weigh down the edges to prevent wind displacement. No special hardware or installation required. Remove and store between seasons — the UV-resistant polypropylene holds up through multiple years of seasonal use.
