    "Remove the bags by hand and either drop them into a bucket of soapy water or burn them. If you know that you will have a problem with bagworm, spray the bald cypress with Bacillus thuringensis in May or June before the moths, known as bag moths, cocoon and build bags."

    We always pulled them off and burned them as anything you spray won't get through the cocoon. An alternate to burning them is stepping on them and twisting your foot- also pretty messy as you get their guts on the bottom of your shoe and driveway (cement)
