Hi recently and for the first time we have a sort of cocooned active worm
all over our cedar bushes and they seem to be killing the bushes. They look
just like dead growth on the bush but are actually little worms in a tough
little bag. Anyone know how to kill the little suckers. I am already aware
of the flamethrower option so no need to mention it.

Thanks in advance

You have bagworms, a relatively common pest on conifers in many parts of the
country at this time of year. This link should help explain the problem and
offer suggestions for control:
