Screen installer helps to keep monkeys out of greenhouse

How do you keep monkeys out of your greenhouse? It is not really a concern of any growers in Europe. They would rather fear whiteflies or moths. However, in Durban, South Africa, it is a concern for several growers.

On social media, Alweco reported about a renovation project at a grower's location. Wires and stainless steel clamps kept breaking. In the end, the culprit turned out to be monkeys. These monkeys entered the greenhouse through the windows and use the screen as their playground. Solutions to the 'monkey problem' are currently being worked on.
