Terri J on Apr 18, 2014We can't burn where I live, and we are still having some weather where it drops below freezing. I just don't want them to spread. I was told by garden expert to do it in spring, but I didn't know if it would work if the weather falls again. Thanks for the suggestion though!Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Apr 19, 2014Terri, according to Penn State, if you are going to spray for bagworms, it should be in early to mid-June. Surely by then the seasons will have evened out, but I would consult with someone at a good local nursery who is directly acquainted with your particular climate. http://ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/bagwormHelpful Reply

Myrna Quist on Apr 19, 2014I use soapy water in a spray bottle on some of my plants. Not sure if it will work, but worth a try!!!!Helpful Reply

B.J. B on Apr 19, 2014We have these in midsummer in Michigan. My husband cuts them down and burns them with a blow torch on the driveway. You don't need to start a fire, they die instantly with the blow torch. We have been doing this for so long that it has made a big decrease in their population. Now we only have a few bags each year.Helpful Reply
