You can put out traps, but not until about 2 or 3 weeks before the blooms
come on. If spraying, you should spray a week before it blooms, once after
the blooms are on and then once a week there after. I am not sure how long
this weekly spraying should go on, but maybe someone else will answer our
post who knows. I got my information from a man who raised apples and
peaches professionally, and at the time I wasn't interested in the apple
information as much as I was the peach info.
