rc: Codling moth are very bad in Amarillo. You will have 100% loss in apples if you don't spray. Don't know how bad they are in Asian pears. But I had to spray every 10 days from May until Sept 1 on apples. I used diazinon. That is no avaliable. Sevin does a great job but may cause spider mite outbreak.

I'm not sure the footies will help with codling moth. I've used them here but we have few of that pest. I'm pretty sure the ziploc bags would work.

Not sure either how the organic sprays would work. But you might try BT or spinosad.

PS, I know nothing of the various poisons. I have used dormant oil occasionally in the past on other stuff. That's about it.

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll go down to the garden centers and see what they recommend.

Well I guess I'll mention this. I developed a bag last year that seemed to stop everything if you have the time to make them. Here is what I did. 1) I prepared a ziplock like I learned how to do from the instruction of Jellyman and others on this forum. 2)I then stapeled screen door material to the outside of the bag and the installed it onto the fruit. I did this to apple, pear, and citrus. The bags were my best effort to stop the plague of birds in my back yard but as a bonus they seemed to stop just about all form of pests. Oh exept for racoons that did rip off some apples but a little sheet metal wrap around the trunk stops them. Maybe this will help.

Thanks,
