There is a pheromone twist tie mating disruptor that is a dual, codling moth and oriental fruit moth that works quite well on both available at Great Lakes IPM.
I didn't see that at the Great Lakes IPM, Dennis, but I did see that those kinds of things are sold in packages of 400 - and are far too expensive for a backyard grower. All of that pheromone stuff looks great, but it's clearly designed for commercial use. From my point of view, that's a shame, since I'm also severely limited in what kinds of sprays I can get.
Hmm,... those replacement lures are only a couple of bucks each. I wonder how well a homemade trap hung on each tree would work - not just as a indicator of activity, but as an alternative to spraying? Well, I might think about that next year. It might be worth trying.
Thanks,
