Codling Moth Threat to Wisconsin Apple Crops and Remedies
The codling moth causes annual U.S. fruit crop losses nearing 18.9 million dollars.

Control relies on thorough orchard sanitation, soil cultivation, and arsenate of lead sprays applied about eight to twelve days after blossom, with repeated sprays as needed.
