Defeat for the bats, birds and possums.

I have only used spray but IIRC you can wrap several layers of cardboard around the trunk at the right times of the year to catch the grubs and I have some vague memory of there being other methods (maybe biological controls or other traps). Forgot to say that codling moths spend part of their lifecycle in a cocoon under bark or in the ground, hence the wrapping of the cardboard around the trunk which catches them on their way down from the fruit. Quite a lot on google if you look for "codling moth organic control" e.g. http://www.greenharvest.com.au/pestc...moth_info.html It talks about the cardboard method, parasitic wasps (commercially available), home-made traps, and covering fruit with exclusion bags. You can yse Lebaycid spray (which I have used), but you are supposed to use it every 2 weeks until 2 weeks before picking (when I used it, I didn't do it more than a few times a season). http://www.yates.com.au/problem-solv.../codling-moth/ |
