I used the fruit footies from California Fruit  a couple of years ago.  They did NOT prevent coddling moth.  I could see the hole where they bit right through and proceeded to make a mess of the apple in the footie. We do have a very bad coddling moth problem here.  Fruit Footies did not work.  Plastic Baggies did (with reservations) and Last Call worked.

Hi Dennis,

 

Sounds like this fellow has taken an idea that's been around for a while and decided to try to market it.  I don't know why it bothers me, because it's legal.  Maybe it bothers me because folks like this are really not adding any value to the product, just adding some catchy phrases and selling it.  Somebody is doing the same thing with Don Yellman's idea of a garbage disposal apple grinder.  They took an idea Don has been promoting for years, and stuck catchy name on it called "Wizbang", and are selling the "plans."  Sorry if I sound cranky, maybe this is just one of my pet peeves.

 

Store supply sells what looks like the same thing, approx. 150 footies for $4.95 plus shipping.

Subject: [NAFEX] Maggot Barrier bags

 

Just received this e-mail that others might be interested if you aren't aware of them yet, especially if you bag your apples.

We would like to introduce a proven concept to protect apples, pears, Asian pears, peaches and nectarines from infestations of the apple maggot fly, codling moth, and oriental fruit moth without the use of harmful pesticides. 

Maggot Barriers have been proven to work over the last 3 years by many Nurseries and Fruit Tree Societies. They were very impressed with the results when applied to their apple and pear trees.  Maggot Barrier bags keep fruit insect free all season.  They are easy to use and should be applied early to fruitlets.  They will expand with the growth of the fruit and create a physical barrier to insect infestations.  No more double plastic bags, brown paper bags, traps or pesticides.  One easy application per season is all that is needed.  

We appreciate your consideration.

Sincerely,

Maggot Barriers
