Q.dealing with bagworms in the fall
Every article talks about managing bag worms in May as ideal. Had I known they were around in May, I’d have happily done something but I didn’t. It’s late August. I discovered them today on my nearly dead evergreen bush that I never liked so that isn’t a problem but the hundreds of bagworms emerging from their bags have got to go. What do I do? There are too many to pick off. I plan to get rid of the bush, but won’t they all jump ship while I’m doing that? Any advice for August treatment of bagworms would be much appreciated.
You can go ahead and treat now if you are trying to control.
