Tip of the Week

If you have noticed webbing in the branch crotches or at their ends of your ornamental and shade trees, you have caterpillars. The webbing are nests for the Fall webworm. If left unchecked, they can very quickly defoliate your trees. As soon as you spot them, handpick or spray with bacillus thurengiensis--Bt, on the webs, branches and foliage to eliminate the caterpillars. Bt is specific to this family of insects and won´t harm beneficial bugs, animals or humans.
