CAN WEBWORMS GET INSIDE OF YOUR HOUSE AND EAT THE PAINT OFF OF YOUR WALLS?

People, just burn them! Get you a propane torch, attach/tape it to a painters pole, adjust as needed.

What brand of pesticide do you use?

[@OKGardeningClassics]

Thanks for tuning in! Here's some information we found! " Chemical controls are most effective if applied early when larva are small. In Oklahoma, it is normally a good practice to make applications of insecticide by early June. Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki, a bacterial insecticide, is reported to provide good control of bagworms. Also effective are products that contain the active ingredient spinosad, another microbial agent. These insecticides must be ingested by the caterpillars in order to achieve kill, so be patient as it will take some time to see results. Repeat applications may be needed later in the summer in order to keep susceptible plants free of bagworms. This is not due to the occurrence of multiple generations. Rather, not all eggs will hatch at the same time in some years and there may be migration of larvae between host plants. In most years, treatment in early June will catch most of the emerging larvae and provide fairly good, season‐long control. The larger, older larvae can be controlled with products containing acephate (Orthene), carbaryl (Sevin), bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, and lambda‐cyhalothrin." www.forestry.ok.gov/Websites/forestry/Images/Bagworms.pdf
