It may be beneficial for you to invest in some Remay fabric to shelter
your grape plants till the June bugs are gone. Also, spraying with
pepper spray may be useful. Take two or three habernero peppers in a
blender with about two cups of water and an entire bulb of garlic.
Blend it, strain out the solids. Take the remaining concentrate and
put it into and empty gallon jug and fill with water. Use one cup per
gallon of spray, but make perfectly sure you strain out all solids or
your sprayer nozzle will clog. I use cheesecloth, or I should say I
used to use it. Now I am tolerant of insects or animals chewing on
things. I don't have a vinyard so I do understand why you'd like your
grapes to remain well.
