My tree in the backyard has a bagworm infestation.

[SmokinMom]

I hope to God that they don't work their way over to my MJ plant. That would be devistating. I took a stick to the bags and opened them up ***nasty!*** and sprayed Seven spray inside them. But I don't know what else to do. Hopefully they don't like cannanis.


Any advice is appreciated.

Stomp them!

or use anything mentioned in here:

The bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), is effective against bagworms if it is used against young larvae. Applications should be made at the end of June after all the eggs have hatched and the larvae are through ballooning.

Products registered for bagworm control are: acephate (Orthene), bendiocarb (Ficam, Turcam)(*), bifenthrin (Talstar), carbaryl (Sevin), chlorpyrifos (Dursban), cyfluthrin (Tempo)(*), diazinon, dimethoate (Cygon), fluvalinate (Mavrik)(*), malathion, nicotine sulfate, pyrethrum, permethrin (Pounce)(*), rotenone and trichlorfon (Dylox, Proxol)(*).

* = Restricted Use Pesticide

Thanks guys. I was wrong, they aren't bagworms, they are webworms. Don't think that matters though.

I remember climbing trees to cut the branch off. Then burn them in a fire. My dad really hated those things. They must go.
