Default BUGS IN THE FRUIT

i have a couple of apple trees and one pear tree.......i have no idea what
variety either one is, but there seems to be a decent fruit set on all of
them.... unfortuneately, i rarely get to taste the fruit because: 1) the
apples don't get very big before they fall off, with all sorts of bug bites
over them, and 2) the pears seem to have been *stung* by some bug and rot on
the tree.... good news for the yellow jackets that hoover around the tree in
the late summer/early fall...bad for me, because i really like pears....

i have been told that i need to spray them... these are fairly big trees....
the pear tree is about 15-18' tall and the apple is at least that tall.....
when do i spray them and with what solution....
i like the trees for shade and decoration.... but i would like to get at least
a couple of apples and a few pears to munch on....

thanx in advance......
