How To Get Rid Of Tent Caterpillars

I have several tent caterpillar nests around my house. Some I can reach to get rid of. There are others nested too high in the trees; therefore, I can’t reach then. For the high nested ones, if I use a long stick and poke a hole in the nest letting the eggs drop to the ground, can that be a solution or will the eggs grow into caterpillars when on the ground?
