Hedge apples - spiders and garden?

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?
