This is an effective control for the larvae but will not stop the adult moths arriving from other gardens the following season.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A popular method to deal with these pests is a pheromone trap this is a trap that mimics the scent of a female and lures the male into a sticky trap that they cannot escape, this may not control the population of codling moth but will reduce the numbers, this is not suitable for a large number of trees.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you wish to use a chemical control, these should be sprayed before the larvae enter the apples in late spring, it is important to avoid getting these chemicals on your flowering buds as they will kill any pollinators.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is a nasty little pest who can very easily ruin your whole crop of apples,prevention is always best it may just be a case of trial and error to see what works best for you.<\/span><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The codling moth is a small moth whose young eat into apples in late to mid summer, this is one of the easiest pests to spot as if the grub is not present the&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-head-gardener"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Codling Moth &#8211;
