How to treat without using chemical so critters/insects don't invest or eat the apples

Expert Response

Growing apples is great fun but the trees do need a little help from us. 

Tow things that you can do without chemicals are:

Fall clean-up. Rake up all fallen leaves and apples and dispose of in your municipal compost. 

Next year, bag your apples. It will go a long way towards a good harvest.
