Hi there, I have these little guys eating my apricots the last few years and was wondering on how to control them.

I would prefer biological controls if possible.

I second the recommendation of neem oil spray if it's practical to grow/obtain in your area. Just wash the fruits before eating. Otherwise you might consider a spray made from fermented tobacco leaves, and same thing, wash thoroughly before eating.
