Default Codling moth on old apple tree

We have (due to a leaning tree and a minor fence realignment) inherited a
very old apple tree from next door.

All the fruit are infested with codling moth.

I have read about pheromone traps then spraying (which would have to be
agreed with next door) but wonder how effective this would be with a
heavily infested old tree.

Cleaning and tidying everything which could hide a moth larva over the
winter does not look to be an easy option, especially next door with loads
of trees and shrubs.

Has anyone fought the moth and won?


Cheers
