Birds have hunted and will hunt for any grapes, but this enemy is not terrible - it is enough to protect the bushes with a solid, inflexible net. "Signal" balls and posters depicting the frowning, big-eyed faces of birds of prey are not effective. Jays, sparrows, magpies and tits quickly realize that they are being led by the nose and mistaken for berries.

Therefore it is necessary to spray bushes with carbon disulfide. The recommended concentration is 300-400 cc per square meter. It is with this dose that both eggs, larvae, and adult parasites die. True, it will be hard for the bush itself, but one bush is better than the entire vineyard - and that is what low doses are fraught with.
Some gardeners claim that 80 cubes are enough, then the bush will almost guaranteed to survive, and the aphid will not declare itself for a long time.
