I cut out my affected areas and burned them. When that was not possible (too high in the tree) I took a roach bomb can, went up a ladder, closed my eyes and averted my face, and aimed for the tent. Caterpillars are all dead, incidentally -- they writhe and twist and fall out of the web.

What maximum folk call tent worms and military worms are diverse. you could spray a tent with WD 40 then set fireplace to it. this would ruin the worms contained in the tent. when you're in ordinary words nervous about some ornamental timber this technique will artwork. be careful now to not commence a hearth so do this precise after a rain or perhaps as the leaves are nevertheless moist. more effective aspects could be danger-free with sprays or dusts. yellow and black billed cuckoos are caterpillar professionals and could wipe out many even as they arrive. this is a case of utilising problem-free experience. If the area the position you're at is too dry or too surely set on fireplace then you truthfully can not use the burning approach. Nor are you able to apply it to cedars, pine etc. even with the undeniable fact that it extremely works properly the following the position we stay. back problem-free experience could be exercised! reducing the dep. would artwork in some situations. in case you leave it lay even with the undeniable fact that the caterpillars will purely move slowly back up the tree.

Cut the branches with worms and put them in the plastic bag, then stamp on it really good. Take it to the garbage bin, and you are done!

The old fashioned way-- use a cane pole, wrap end with rags tightly-- squirt with gas or charcoal lighter-- light the rags-- burn the web-- if you live in a city-- will depend on your neighbors-- they might call the fire dept. Have a water bucket to put your torch out--
if any of the web is left-- they will regenerate.
good luck
