Webworms Continue In Trees And Remedies Suggested
The fall webworm forms webs on leaves feeding from both sides. Eggs hatch from a single mass on a leaf. Full grown caterpillars are about an inch long with white and black hairs. They spin cocoons under debris or beneath the leaf surface. Two broods per year are common, with the fall brood larger. County agent Cy Haley warns that loose webs attract little attention until damage is advanced. Practical control includes cutting webs and burning, pruning branches, or spraying with DDT or parathion solutions, though foliage injury is possible. Early-stage branch removal is best.
