Looks like a web from some one of these guys.
Did you try spraying your trees with one of the biological sprays that make them stop eating so they die...
The Caterpillar killer by safer says it kills gypsy moth
larva,budworms,bagworms,spanworms,spring and fall canker worms,and other leaf eating caterpillars.
it gets cabbage worms,cabbage loopers,tomato hornworms.....
Use 1-4 teaspoons per gallon of water.Doesn't hurt anything else.
8 oz. was $9.00 last season.
6 tsp. =1oz. 8oz.=48 tsp.
So thats 12 gal. of spray at 4 tsp. per gal. which is the high dose.
Whats good is it kills ALL types of caterpillars and nothing else.
Won't hurt tweety birds earthworms,dogs,cats, etc.
It worked for me with loopers or cabbage worms on my horseradish last year.
Thanks for the help
I kept searching the web yesterday after I posted to try and find something I could do without driving into town since I had just been in there and found a link that of course I didn't bookmark dang it but it said they were tent worms and to use ordinary soap mixed with water and spray them so I did, but I am going to town today and see if I can find the spray.
