Douglas Hunt on Aug 28, 2013Insecticides for bagworms are more effective in the spring when the larvae are small. It's much harder to kill them at this time of year. in fact, the University of Nebraska at Lincoln says, "chemical control in late summer and fall is not effective." http://lancaster.unl.edu/hort/bagworms.shtmlHelpful Reply
