One of our readers recently reached out to us in concern. She explained that she ate an entire apple before noticing a mysterious brown hole on the bottom. She thinks a worm was probably living in the apple and she wonders if it could make her sick, especially if there is a chance that she might have eaten it.

There are many ways to control worms in apple trees from hanging sticky traps to spraying the trees with a solution that will kill or repel worms. The type of method that will be most effective will depend on the type of worm problem you have.
