Fruit Tree Care | Treating for Web Worms and Tent Caterpillars

We found Tent Caterpillars/Worms on one of our fruit trees. We treat the worms and tree with a quick, Monterey Bt spraying. Spraying before the Sun fully rises and temperatures are below 80 F helps prevent sunburn or sunscald on tender plants.

Thank you so much, Lady Linda

[@Ambisyosadyosa2024]

Thank you for sharing your experience with tent caterpillars and how you treated them using Monterey Bt spraying. Your proactive approach of spraying in the morning and considering temperature conditions is valuable information for others dealing with similar issues. Taking care of our fruit trees is essential, and your video provides useful insights. Great job!

[@EssayonsFG]

Thank you very much. Totally agree. Caring for our fruit trees is a wonderful long term investment in our future. Have a wonderful rest of the week!

[@lifeinfareast]

Love those natural bird sounds as a background sound effects.

[@EssayonsFG]

They are so nice to hear, out in the garden

[@ItsMePsyche]

You really have the passion in plants, I admire you for that.

[@EssayonsFG]

Thank you very much

[@AOKUrbanHomestead1]

Those worms have been so devastating. Glad you're getting ahead of bad issues.

[@EssayonsFG]

Thanks Thack. It is not so bad if you can catch them early but we were so focused on the water issues it slipped by us.

[@OCDishChick]

Hey Rob and family! Yes, take care of those beautiful trees.

[@EssayonsFG]

Thanks Nikki! We are trying

[@ImByAbdul]

Eyassons, this is so beautiful seeing how you've taken care of the tree. Stay blessed and safe

[@EssayonsFG]

Thank you. Fingers crossed no more show up

[@BrokeFarmer]

Never heard of tent worms, thanks time to do some research

[@EssayonsFG]

Thanks and welcome. We are learning together, Broke.

[@LittleJordanFarm]

Love bt.. we have alot of web worms moth larvae and fly larvae I use it for. Never imagined them loving willow but they eat it up quick. GREAT INFO GUYS💚🙌

[@EssayonsFG]

Thanks Tammy. Same here. It works great on so many of the pest we have to worry about in the orchard.

[@AaricHale]

Lots of really great information ! We just bought our first ever fruit trees a lemon and lime trees that you can grow in a pot and bring indoors in the winter . We should have bought trees that grow here but I thought these were neat. Thanks for sharing and have a great day !

[@EssayonsFG]

Thanks Aaric! You know we are guilty of buying trees outside our grow zone too. As long as you have a warm place for them to overwinter you should be fine. Have a wonderful week

[@backtoourroots9052]

We have to try the BT on our new trees. Is it to early to spray our tree's we just got them. That's a big nest. Your tree looks healthy. The Mulberry tree is huge. This was great information for new tree growers like us. We can't wait to see the new area. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your evening

[@EssayonsFG]

You can spray the Monterey All Season Horticultural spray year round, every three months. The Bt is more of a spot treatment when you see worms or caterpillars infestation on your fruit trees. It is ok to spray your young trees, as the pest love young and tender leaves to feast on in the Spring. But try to spray out of direct sunlight early or late in the day. This also helps avoid spraying beneficial bees and lady bugs. Looking forward to seeing more of your fruit trees! Stay blessed!

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

Great information Rob, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Hope the family is doing well and that you all have a blessed week my friend.

[@EssayonsFG]

Thanks Tony. I've gotten lax on my quarterly horticultural spray treatments so this is the result. Have a blessed week,

[@toniasfusion2797]

[@bucktalesoutdoors7566]

We get those Bag Worms / Tent worms on our Lilac trees and in the past I have usually cut off the infested branch and burned it. Good tip on what you’re using Rob. I have two what we’re supposed to be American Crab Apple trees. I planted them 20 yards apart and although they have flowered every year for the past five years they have never once borne fruit. I suspect they are too far apart to get cross pollination.

[@EssayonsFG]

Thanks for watching, Don. A lot of folks say cut and burn the infested branches but I've never done that myself. We've only had an infestation 3 or four times since moving her 11 years ago and never on the same tree. I'm surprised your apples are producing yet. Maybe get a different variety to plant close by?

[@GINAvsGINA1]

Great info, I have several fruit trees so now I know what to do. 😊

[@EssayonsFG]

Thanks Gina. This has worked for us.

[@riutaskitchen9715]

great job

[@EssayonsFG]

Thank you

[@LWYOffGridHomestead]

I hate those webs full of worms ewwww...hope you get rid of them & your trees stay healthy

[@EssayonsFG]

Thank you. I think we got them all before they damaged the tree too badly. New leaves are coming in already.

[@mikeschaoticgardening]

Hopefully takes care of the beasties!

[@EssayonsFG]

Thanks Mike. This is only our 3rd or 4th infestation over 11 years but it always works. Never had a repeat on the same tree.

[@Kangaroo-Duy]

[@EssayonsFG]

You are very welcome. Thanks for watching

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Good information Rob. I have been meaning to pick some BT up to try out. I have been wanting some of that once-a-year insect control too. I have not heard of this brand you are using but it looks solid. I will add it to my cart when I get ready to pick it up. Thanks, buddy.

[@EssayonsFG]

Thanks Ronnie. I think Bonide has the once a year horticultural spray. I couldn't find it in our Amazon purchases so I probably got it at Home Depot or Lowes. It is listed as Dormant season horticultural spray

[@myhomeanddreamgarden]

I am always finding warms in my garden. Collecting them also by hand. I am using neem oil to spray. But my problem is grasshoppers , sometimes birds having them for dinner but most of the time I have to collected by hand too. 🎈

[@EssayonsFG]

The battle with the bugs is everlasting. Neem is a good all purpose spray but not as effective on webworms like these. I've seen grasshopper bait traps for sale. Might help a little in your garden.

[@myhomeanddreamgarden]

@@EssayonsFG I have not seen in our shops, I will look and my be if I am lucky I will get rid off grasshoppers. The worst thing is that many of my neighbours don't look after gardens and all of the bugs spreading to my garden 🐛🐛

[@WILLITGROW]

great tips sir ill have to get me some b.t

[@EssayonsFG]

Thanks John. It works on so many different pest worms and caterpillars.

[@lyonheart84]

Thankfully never seen them here Rob but im guessing they are around in some areas. I've seen them in the warmer Mediterranean climates

[@EssayonsFG]

Hope you never get them Brett, They can decimate your plants in a few days.

[@lifeinfareast]

Thanks much for the tips. I got a big problem with our mango tree. It might help.

[@EssayonsFG]

Thanks so much and you are very welcome.

[@HarshmanHills]

I freaked out the first time I saw their webs and nest in the tree. I was scared to see what spider was in them. Lol

[@EssayonsFG]

Hahaha! I could definitely see some giant spider hiding out in there.

[@cupcakescorner7684]

Thanks for the info sir. My mango tree flowers drops and have webs. I can try to spray

[@EssayonsFG]

You are very welcome. Hope this helps.

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

I need to spray my apple trees, We didn't get any apples last year. What the insects didn't get, the squirrels got.

[@EssayonsFG]

I need to stick to my schedule of spraying too. I set phone reminders but it is easy to procrastinate until you see the results of not spraying the horticultural spray quarterly

[@habibijoeytv7923]

Hello how are you.

[@EssayonsFG]

We are good. How are you?

[@cguidry1481]

Yea, they look like they damage the trees. My main problem is they get huge webs way up in the pecan trees and their poop is horrible.

[@EssayonsFG]

Yes indeed. They got us a bit this year. We had some on our pecan tree a few years ago but I didn't get showered by the poop, thank God

[@LittleJordanFarm]

Great scam of orchard. I just can't get over them kids grow 😮. Sk2 looks like he's going to be tall😮

[@EssayonsFG]

Yes indeed and he is only 10. He'll tower over me in a couple years.

[@readbooks9985]

Web worms 🕸👀😬

[@EssayonsFG]

Hope we get rid of them quick

[@aquillawallace7979]

Should i spray even if there is no evidence just in case?

[@EssayonsFG]

Not the Bt, but you can spray the all season horticultural oil every three months

[@OutandaboutoutdoorswithRon]

Hate them baby worms and tent catapillers!

[@EssayonsFG]

Same here, Ron. That leaf damage is frustrating.

[@awishunterpalas]

Hopefully the caterpillar pests will disappear soon, friends

[@EssayonsFG]

Thanks. We hope so too but will spray again today

[@VirginiaFruitGrower]
