Mix together:

1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 cup water

Then add 1 banana peel

Cut a large hole in a gallon milk jug and add the mixture.

Hang the jug from the fruit tree before flowers appear and enjoy the bug free fruit. We have used this for 3 years, and have trees drooping with fruit. A wonderful no spray way to go.

We have some bug eating the leaves of out apple, pear and peach trees. I can't see any bugs and have tried organic bug controls with no results.

I assume the vinegar is what kills them, does this work with aphids too?

Can I hang this above the fruit tree/vine? How does this work? Does it repel the bugs? Does it draw them to the concoction? Does it work for grape vines?
