Preventing Worms in Apples

My mom put a banana peel, water, and something else in a plastic jug with a hole cut out of the top to prevent worms and lines in the apples. Does anyone know what the ingredients are? I can not remember.

Found it. Mother batch can be split to several jugs. Combine 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 cup sugar, 1 cut up banana peel, half gallon of water in a milk jug with large hole towards topside. Leave handle so you can tie it to apple tree branch. Codling moths are what produces the apple worms.

No, you may just have to use a type of pesticide.
