That's an easy one. Outsource the bag making to China and the bugs will leave where there is more work. Hence no more bugs on your trees that make bags!

I could be any number of bugs that match that description. In order to get a correct answer, you need to tell people what kind of tree, where you live, and what the bugs look like.

Are they on shrubbery? Then they are bag worms and can either be picked off, or you can get a spray to kill them. If they are on trees and the bag looks like a cob web, they are tent worms and need to be sprayed with malathion (this might be spelled wrong), but they usually show up in the spring. Hope this helps...

Could be any number of bugs. Heres how me and my boys get rid of the pests, from ants and bees to crickets and Dung beatles. Go in the back of your Garage, you know, the part you've not been in for a while. get some old chemicals back there. Paint thinner, any type of arosol you can find. splash something that is a quick buring fluid on there. I.E. the paint thinner. and have it torch thoses little turds. Flaming hairspray is my favorite. HAR HAR HAR HAR!

Sounds like bagworms. When I was a kid, my grandpa would pay me a penny for each one I pulled off, then he would flush them.
I don't think that was a very effective method of control, because I was very thorough, yetthere always seemed to be a new cash crop for me.
There was a bush at my current house that was infested with the same bagworms when I moved in. They said it had been treated, but they didn't go away. I eventually cut it down. I would suggest the same method, unless you have an endless supply of grandkids.

Sounds like tent catipillars to me. Cut the brach with the tent on it off, put it in a sealed trash bag and throw it out. Watch for black catapillars (Tent catapillars) and remove them from the tree as well. I have not found anything better than manually removing them before they become an infestation.

These are most likely webworms. They make a kind of hairy-webby looking nest in trees. The only way that I know to get rid of them is to spray them with hairspray and light them. Seriously. But, be careful, of course.

Put a plastic bag over the bug bag, cut the branch off and burn the branch and insect bag. Take the plastic bag off before burning.

If you mean it looks kind of like a bag, but made of a webbing type stuff it sounds like gypsie month catapillars. You'd have to look up ways to get rid of them, but i am sure there is pest spray that you can use.

tent catepillars... and they will take over an entire tree. Here in the South they love pecan trees. We put aluminum coils around the base of the trees to prevent them. For now, you need to kill the bags... knock them down and burn them.
