Hi, can I suggest you try Dipel, it is a powder that you sprinkle on the fruit and when the grubs eat it. Bacillus thuringiensis is the active ingredient. It may be called something else in America. They die, it is a safe organic chemical control. Don't forget to read the label and find out what the withholding period is - time you can't pick and eat the fruit.
