Right now...I really need some help here please.
I have found a small greyish white caterpillar on my espalier apple tree. I have researched google and I think it is Apple Sawfly larvae. Does anyone know if that sounds right? If so what is the best way/stuff to use to get rid of it, and quickly. All I have been able to find on the www is something called Bifenthrin which also looks like it may have been banned from use. I normally use a homemade soapy solution spray to control nasty bugs etc and it usually works, well it does the trick on white fly anyway, does anyone know if it would work on sawfly larvae? I don't mind giving it a try but I also don't want to waste any time in getting rid of them because apparently they burrow into the core of the apples.
