Having a steady supply of fresh fruit, from your backyard, is quite a nice thing. Many people strive to attain this dream. However, many people fail to realize just how easy it is to obtain a fairly serious infestation of worms, in their fruit. I can’t think of anything more unpleasant, than biting into an apple, off of the tree you’ve slaved over for so long, only to find that you have not been diligent enough, with your pesticides.

Even though it seems like a hassle, to always be spraying pesticides, it is something that you should never overlook. Spraying pesticides is a fairly quick and easy process, and you shouldn’t have to do it very often at all. Believe me, it is worth it, to just get out there in the yard every couple of weeks and spray.

Spraying can seem like a time consuming process. After all, you have to go out and buy all the supplies, mix the chemicals, apply them, and clean up everything you used in the process. Sometimes, you’ll even need a ladder, to reach all segments of the trees. The entire process can take as long as four hours, if you have several large trees. Doing this, every 2 weeks, can get very tiresome and irritating. However, you should always persevere. Usually, by being regular in your spraying,  this will help prevent infestations of such things as moths, but sometimes it’s just not enough.

You can normally tell, when moths have laid eggs on your trees, by the ends of the branches. If you notice something, that looks like a cluster of moth eggs, you should immediately prune the branch, you found it on and destroy the infection. Check the rest of the tree, very thoroughly. If the eggs were to hatch, you would have a huge amount of moth larvae crawling around, through your tree and into your fruit. I don’t know about you, but the very thought of this makes me retch.

I once had a friend, who was dealing with a very bad moth infestation. He couldn’t find a single fruit on his tree, that didn’t have a worm inside of it. He ended up having to cut down the entire tree.  Even the stump was a wriggling mass of white larvae. I almost threw up, when I saw it. He had to have the stump professionally removed, to get rid of all traces. Having to start completely over, on a tree you’ve worked on for so long, is an absolute heart breaking experience.

I live in the same area, as that friend I just mentioned and I have never had a problem with moths. This is because every Saturday, during springtime, I make it a part of my schedule, to go outside and spray down the entire tree. I do all the fruit trees, myself. Preventing the infestation of unwanted guests, is much better, than having to cut down a tree and start over, just because of a little laziness.

If you have not thought of spraying pesticides, in the past, you should head on over to your local gardening supplies store today. Find out what pests are most prevalent, in your area, and buy the appropriate pesticides, to prevent them from ever visiting your trees. I urge you not to brush this off, as it will save you lots of trouble, in the long run.
