Wonder if your local Ag Extension office could offer some tips? When we lived in Naches, WA, some ag-oriented guys came out & sprayed a nicotine-based "organic" pesticide on the apple trees in our yard. They had to get the okay from our landlady, but they didn't charge her. With apples being big business in central WA, they wanted to keep those apple maggots in check.

Not sure if I mentioned this book someplace else, but it's one I want to read again. I read it years ago from a different life perspective, and I think I'd have a greater appreciation of it now. It's called LAND CIRCLE by Linda M. Hasselstrom.
"A new kind of rancher and a new kind of environmentalist, Linda Hasselstrom embraces old values, most particularly, responsibility for the land born out of love for it. Speaking with an eloquent simplicity in these collected essays and poems, the author of Going Over East and Windbreak further explores her visceral connection with the land."
