We planted 8 apple trees. Great harvest this year but cannot beat the coddling moths. Regular spraying, dormant oil in the winter, picking up all the dropped fruit and getting rid of them so not to attract bugs and insects.
Any suggestions?
Dormant oil and Springtime spraying always worked for me.
My bane was squirrels. They pick the apples a few days before perfect ripeness, take one bite, and leave the apples on my fence posts. I swear they did it to annoy me. I got revenge, though. I gave 75 squirrels their “final swim” in my big yard waste tub.
Wish I had some! I hate spraying.
