Sam,I have found that Bullseye here is endemic with certain varities of apples. I get very little since I have cut down those trees.
I'm glad you asked what the maggot looks like. Looking at this picture of
the apple maggot

and the codling moth larva,

I think most of my damage is from codling moth. I conclude this based on
the dark colored head of the "worm" and the kind of damage that it is
causing. The damage I have has only one entrance and one exit hole, as
shown here.

The apple maggot seems to do a lot of meandering through the apple, which I
don't have.
How do people control codling moth? Where can I get codling moth traps?
Anyone have experience with Bulls-Eye bioinsecticide from Gardens Alive?
