Catapiler

Last year I had catapiler in my peaches in the greenhouse house could anyone point me in the direction of how to stop it happening again and what type of catapiler attacks peaches.

If you only have one or two, it is easier to pick them off , rather than spraying.

I didn't take a photo, they were inside the peaches so the all crop was ruined I don't want it to happen again.

Hi Jason, that sounds like Plum moths or Codling moths, which can affect anything in the same family. RHS advice here:

Grease bands and plastic tunnels to hang on branches to catch flying bugs. If you have other fruit trees in the garden they should all be treated. Grease bands go on in the autumn and the tunnels go up in the Spring, they have a sticky pad inside which gives off pheromones to attract the moths.
