Bagworms

I snapped this picture of bagworms on that cedar from yesterday. If you have an evergreen in your landscape, take some time to look for bagworms. They can also be found on deciduous plants, but are more common (and destructive) to evergreens. Look for the bags hanging from the branches, similar to Christmas ornaments.

Bagworms construct these bags for protection. If only find a few of them, remove them by pulling or pruning the bag off of the plant. Bagworms spend the winter season in the egg stage inside some of these sacks. Remove them now before the eggs hatch in late May or June.

If you have a larger infestation, contact a tree company like Ryan Lawn & Tree, to assist you with controlling this landscape pest.
