I got a bug problem (spiders mostly, though some roaches/water bugs, and house centipedes) and recently found a hedge apple tree.
Well a bunch of the fruit was just lying on the ground, so I picked up several of them up and brought them home. Now I'm at a bit of a standstill...
I get the theory - get hedge apples, cut them up, place them in or outdoors.
But are the ones I picked up off the ground as good as the ones as the ones still in the tree (and some 20 feet above my head)?
Is there a right or wrong time to cut these things up in order to try it out as a repellent?
How long before they go bad/rot and how to tell when they do?
Can I add the used pieces to my garden compost?
Also, is there a method to sort of concentrate the juice (or whatever part of the fruit that is supposed to repel bugs) and keep or store it?

Simply put, put them, whole, in confined spaces where spiders live. If you can't tell when they rot, you have a problem
