Art, I have used Assail for apple maggot control for several seasons now with very good results. I have been able to time our sprays so any second generation of codling moth is usually hit as well. We just did our AM spray about a week ago for this season. I usually do not include Assail in my first generation codling moth sprays so that I am only using it once per season. I use the Cornell Apple Maggot Monitoring form found at http://nysipm.cornell.edu/publications/apple_man/files/am.pdf and I use unbaited traps so my threshold is one fly/trap. I have never had to do a second spray for apple maggot. Hope this helps!
