I have tried the fruit footies. On apples in Idaho they are ineffective.
The codding moths get right through them.

Subject: [nafex] Another "bag" for bagging fruit

On another list a person mentioned another method for bagging fruit which
might interest some.
Apparently, some are using disposable nylon footies, or foot sox. I have
never used them but they seem like they might be cost effective and easy to
use. Looks like quantity of 144 sox for $5, which comes to about 3.5 cents
per sock.

"I have been putting ziplock bags on my apples the last two years to
eliminate spraying the trees and the fruit. I recently found a better bag to
use to for covering the apples. Information on the method can be found at
this link: http://www.homeorchardsociety.org/fruitsoxs. I found a source
for the footies at this link:
