Palustris:
We do not spray either of these two trees. The Sunset cos it does not seem to need it and the Catshead 'cosit is too roo big. We do spray both Greensleeves and Crown Gold against Scab. I do this every 2 weeks with Copper sulphate which is reasonably organic. We do hand Pheromone traps around though.
The earwigs drop out when you cut the fruit open. I am not a lover of pastry so most of these apples will be eaten as Baked apple, Juiced and drunk, or pureed, frozen  and used in a dozen different types of cake. Apple puree is a good sugar substitue.

Thanks for that Eric.

How do you apply them? Any web links for more info?

Palustris:
One buys the traps from a Garden Centre and hang them in the trees (1 for every 3 we do, but probably over kill) in May. They are taken down in October. Do ones for plum trees as well. No idea about links as you know that is a bit of a problem at present.

ideasguy:
Thanks Eric.I'll check it out from there.
