Codling moth

Question:

It seems that all apple trees in the area have been attacked with coddling moths. I have an old apple tree in my garden also infected. What are the chances of getting rid of this infestation, I read that it is very difficult? Is there an apple that is resistant to these moths?

Unfortunately there isn't any variety that would be resistant to codling moth. Further help and information can be found on the links below:
