Bagworm Infestation Advice From Extension Officials
Autumn brings bagworms and leaf drop with warnings that spraying is too late. Homeowners should pick by hand and dispose in trash, or use coffee can traps for parasitoids. Early detection matters as larvae are small. insecticides work only when bags are under a half inch. Pheromone traps offer an environmentally friendly option, effective next year, to reduce future numbers. Eggs overwinter in old bags and hatch late spring, spreading via wind and silk threads to new hosts.

Goats Fight Weeds In Kansas Sericea Study Near Melvern Lake
Emporia State University researchers report 180 goats on 40 acres near Melvern Lake reduced sericea lespedera mass by about half. Officials say seed production remains uncertain but promising results justify continued study through October with possible extensions. The program uses goats instead of herbicides to target invasive species while sparing native plants. Volunteer Don Rogers helps manage goats and envisions turning the weed into meat goat protein.
