Great video! These bag worms need to go!

Saving for sure!- I just caught one on my big Cypher Tree ,It’s a big giant bonsai,in a decent size pot, about 5 feet tall. 18years old it’s really dear to me.

Neems oil works really good in April. Soak it and it doesn't hurt the bees or the tree but it will fix the bagworms. All is the timing and thank you for your video .

Fantastic job. I lost one arborvitae a year ago from them. Now they’ve started to attack my bigger ones. Just pulled all the bags I could see yesterday. I started seeing my bush get thin so I liked at it and boom. They’re here. Time to spray them. I used seven last year on it. But it’s only a 3 month protection. Great video. Very informative. 👍

Wow. I found one of these and had no idea what it was. I thought to myself/using my magnifying glass that “looks like worms”. Ugh. It was adhered to the side a a planter that contained milkweed. I don’t have any evergreens. I do have a coconut tree? Hedges about 40 feet away.

Thank you thank you THANK YOU for bringing up diluting dish detergent as an option. I sprayed BT product on my trees a few weeks ago and had a bad allergic reaction. And I worry about using too much to adversely impact the trees. So thank you for this great and informative video!

Use any Fire type! Bug/Steel is x4 weak to Fire. Special moves work ok, too, as Defense is its forte. Also consider a ghost type as a spinblocker or a Magic Bouncer, as they're typically used to set hazards and Spin for their team. I jest, because there's a bagworm Pokemon that's a pretty tough nut to crack. :P Seriously though, ai've dealt with Bagworms on a young fir. Fortunately, we were able to just manually pluck the gross little guys off and they eventually didn't come back, but they can do some real harm! It helps that the plant in question didn't have very dense foliage,bso you could actually see the bugs fairly easily, and the branches are robust enough for you to pull on them. Doing that on a more leafy, delicate plant would be a nightmare! Oh, and in looking at your channel, one topic that might be a good topic is baking your fiber finds. Unless I'm buying yarn at big box stores with high turnover, I'm always throwing them in the oven. You know, temperatures andhow long for respective temperatures for both sanitization and to 100% kill any bugs, as you have to hold a certain temp, especially if you go for lower ranges. You have to be careful with some natural fibers, but a lot of acrylic stuff can be pretty tolerant in my experience. One of the best resources for heat tolerance of acrylics is with 3D printer folks, if you REALLY felt like getting technical. I have a lot of allergies so I couldn't give you natural fibers off the top of my head, and I usually just slap stuff in at 160-180f for waaay overkill, so ai couldn't give you a time, either. But my other thrifting worry really isn't just bed bugs, but also carpet beetles. They can leave hairy fibers around that look like bedbug bites even after being dead, and just make you horribly paranoid. I've heard of horror stories of them ruining some really important historical works from my art history friends, as well as from my fiber art nerds having to trash their entire yarn stash. Better than bed bugs, but I've curiously never seen anything about it on the Internet before until I looked it up after talking to folks IRL so the signs of their presence in yarn and furniture, too. (apparently they kinda look like the spiky immature lady bug stage, iirc?) Definitely worth passing along if you ever cover the topic.
