I have a cherry tree that has a cherry maggot infestation. I didn't notice it last year but it is horrible this year. I am planning on using malathion but I cannot find how long I should wait to pick after spraying them. It's too late for this year's crop but if I hit it now and then next spring several times I hope to get it under control. Worst part is that I bought and planted 2 more cherry trees this year so I want to get a handle on it before I actually get cherries on the new trees in a couple years.
I've thought about the net bags that you put over the whole tree but I'm too cheap to want to spend $150/tree. Sounds like there are some other more organic products that I may move to if I can really knocr them down with an insecticide.
