Have you seen bagworms yet this year?
I’m already getting questions about bagworms this year. As long as I can reach them, I don’t mind the task of picking off the bags. Have you seen any yet in the Southeast?
Scouting on susceptible species is the most important step in controlling bagworms. Look for bags and handpick them when possible. Soak bags in soapy water for several hours before disposal to kill eggs.
