Beating Codling Moth

Codling Moth - the life story

If you have apple, pear or quince trees in your garden there is a good chance you will have codling moth problems. I have had serious infestations in previous years and this year decided to confront this pest head on with all guns blazing.  I know however my efforts this year will only be effective with next year's crop.  Part of my attack strategy was to learn a bit about the life cycle of the moth and its relationship to my trees. I hope you find this abbreviated version useful.
