How to Get Rid of Bagworms

[@aggrex]

Very informative video on how to deal with this pest. I planted a double row of green giants and cypress tress. The trees are now over 20 feet tall and were doing well until this year. Upon closer look I discovered the "cones" that had invaded my trees and nearly killed one tree. I collected a bucket full and killed them. I will be spraying the trees next spring. Thank you

Glad to help!

[@michelleoverby]

Thank you Jane! This was a concise video and just what I needed to help treat our bag worm problem.

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

Happy to help! Thank you for watching!

[@prettykitty3570]

Oh my goodness. I saw one literally stuck to the window at my job and freaked out. I've never seen one before so I had to find out what it was. There is also one hanging from a doorknob outside at my job. It's been there since March and here it is July. Thanks for explaining these abominations.

You remind me of my grandma. A kind lady who knows her stuff! I am a 30 year-old man and don’t want to touch the bagworms on my bush outside and here you are cutting them open. Lol!

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

Lol, thanks for the compliment! Jane is one tough cookie!

[@soulaesthete8563]

Jane, the audio on this video is so low, I could barely hear you. Anyway, thanks for the info.

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

Thanks for the feedback! Since this video, we have improved our editing software, so now we are hoping the audio is of better quality. Thank you for watching!

[@Michael-mz6uf]

It looks so beautiful there. Love the sound of the wind in the trees.

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

Thank you! It is a beautiful place to work!

[@stephentackett1098]

Horrible little things ate half my tree. I thought the bags were part of the tree all this time until I noticed that the bags had a sort of rope that tied around the branch. Ahh!

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

Hi, Stephen! I'm so sorry that your tree has fallen victim to these nasty little boogers. They sure can be challenging to treat. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@d.g.n9392]

Thanks. I’m picking off bag worms today in St. Louis. Good video

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

Happy to help!

[@jacobcasey28]

anyone else think that tree was much bigger until she touched it

[@familyfriends4211]

Jacob C I was like: wait what just happened.

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

Lol!

[@KingdomWolf2351]

They're pretty cool looking when they're hanging on a string. I'm looking at some chillin' on some branches. I'ma go poke em.

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

😂

[@PittsburghSonido]

Same

[@seanbrown8920]

With a stick, of course.

[@wacobayless9033]

I wish I had seen this before they managed to kill my trees. As you said, they disguise themselves well and I thought they were part of the trees.

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

They are very good at disguising themselves! I'm so sorry you lost your trees.

[@wacobayless9033]

@219 816, Oh I did! My son-in-law cut them down and took them to a friends place where he has a pond and they are now swimming with the fishes. lol

[@cbdyna]

Thank you for the video. I'm in Maryland, would spraying the bag before the month of May kill them, or will the bag protect them? And do you know at what temperature they come out? There has been some warm days here already and it will be in the 70's this week.

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

Hello! I apologize for the late reply. Did you end up spraying the bagworms?

[@jamesfish5630]

Saved one in a plastic zip type bag (for show) and few days later noticed it had tore a hole and was in process of escaping! I burn/squish or soak em in hot soapy water.

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

Ekkk!! Those sneaky little boogers!

[@sira451]

Jane, thank you for this video. Bagworms already killed 2 of my arborvitae. Today, I picked over a thousand bagworm cocoons off of my arborvitae, spruce, and deciduous trees. I definitely didn't get them all and will be out every day doing the same thing. Is there a way I can use my garden hose and connect it to a pesticide to spray the tops of my trees? They are way too tall to reach.

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

I'm so happy this video helped! Let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks for watching!

[@sira451]

@@greensideupgardengifts2165 Thank you for your reply Jane. My question was and still is, can you recommend a pesticide to spray my trees using my garden hose?

[@MrPinkleton]

@@sira451 Yes, Check out products like "Ortho Dial N Spray Multi-Use Hose-End Sprayer"

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

@@sira451, sorry I missed your question in your initial post. I would recommend if you can find it, Natural Gaurd Ready to Use. They typically make the spray version and the hose-end version.

[@sira451]

@@greensideupgardengifts2165 Thank you and I'll look for the product you've recommended. However, after filling (to the brim) two 30 gallon trash bags with these creatures, I gave up and called a professional. They finally arrived today to spray and literally broke down and cried. This experience has been so stressful and could have been avoided had I known these little monsters existed. I don't want to lose anymore trees and will stay on top of it from now on. Thanks again!

[@illusionfaderr5394]

I’VE SEEN THESE EVERYWHERE. I AM SOOO ANNOYED.

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

Yes, they are such a nuisance!

[@kate.5631]

I always see them at the ceiling of our house;-;

[@snowpatriot4045]

Can you tell me how does the spray actually kill these worms?....When they hatch they crawl on the tree and crawl over the limbs that have been sprayed? Is that how the spray kills them

[@lovemitlav]

Actually I was not known it is a worm now it has spread all over my tree the tree is very tall and spreaded more now all leafs are dried and the plant is loosing the ability to regrowth do you have any suggestion where I don't want to loose my tree bcz I'm attached to it we have little too much bonding between us.

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

There may be a commercial spraying company in your area who can come out and spray the entire tree. How tall is it?

[@lovemitlav]

@@greensideupgardengifts2165 I donno exact height but it has reached to third floor of a building i can say this much

[@deletethemedia3445]

I always thought they were little pinecones that were a part of my bush until my aunt pointed them out to me 😁. If I get rid of them, will my bush regenerate into a healthy plant?

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

If you remove the bagworms in time, yes, you should be able to revive your plant.

[@abrokecollegestudent3507]

Thess little worms are killing my mom's evergreen and I'm pretty sure they got to the other one. We only noticed because we picked some of them off thinking they were just dead foliage and found them crawling on our trash can the next day 🤢

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

Ugh! I'm sorry to hear that! They are annoying little things for sure!

[@vasudhathapa9234]

my trees have been infested by a great number of bagworms, killing away my trees.. i can't pick them one by one as the mango and guava tree is huge to cover.. what should i do?

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

If there is a company with the capability to spray them, I would go that route.

[@wemcal]

Great video

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

Thanks for the visit!

You're welcome! Glad it helped!

Thanks.

You're welcome!

[@chrisseaton9396]

I just throw them in my neighbor's yard

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

Oh no! 🤦‍♀️ lol!

[@theropesofrenovation9352]

I hate those things. They stick all over my outside walls in Florida

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

They are pretty gross!

[@kristina5404]

It's June and I am just now noticing them. 😭

[@archlordkrystia1083]

Never even heard of them, til today lol but now it makes sense why i see so many pine corns 🤣

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

Yeah, they are starting show up, unfortunately.

[@emiper4]

I just saw them today for the first time 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I need your team in my backyard

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

We can help from afar! Do you have any specific questions? We love to make videos that tackle yard issues!

[@artvandalay13]

Just donate it to Blathers.

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

😂

[@littledonnygames64]

Why ? Transport to somewhere else. So they won’t hurt your tree. But still they will live

[@greensideupgardengifts2165]

Transplant shock can also happen when you purchase a tree in a container then plant it in your yard.

[@Lazlo.]

Why the buzzcut?

[@bobasbountytv1572]

Why not

It is hot in North Carolina!
