    When deciding when and how to spray your fruit trees, be aware that many domestic insecticides also affect beneficial insects such as bees. For example, carbaryl, malathion and permethrin are toxic to bees and other harmless insects. Endosulfan is especially toxic and can harm birds; it also injures fish if the runoff from trees reaches streams or lakes. Horticultural oils are generally considered safe, with little impact on other insects, and pyrethrins are also low in toxicity. To minimize the need for spraying, remove all fruit from your trees at harvest and destroy any insect-infested fruit on the ground. This will help reduce the risk of pest problems the following year.
