APPLE MAGGOT and CODLING MOTH

Whether it is a fly or a moth, the backyard gardener does NOT need to use pesticides – organic or not!

Seattle Tree Fruit Society has a great explanation on how to apply barriers for pests. And you can: 

  •  Bag your apples when you thin them. 
  •  Pick up and destroy apples that have dropped to the ground.
  •  Or cover the tree with a Kootenay Cover.
