Default [IBC] protecting trees from cicada damage

In a message dated 5/20/2004 11:09:10 AM Eastern Standard Time,
writes:
My trees are lined up on the ground, and I plan to drop the netting over the
whole row of them (except the pines, which, according to that article, aren't
harmed by cicadas). I haven't done anything yet, because "my" cicadas are
just sitting. And staring.
Nina:

I am covering the deciduous trees with deer net, which should be enough to
stop the Cicadas should they decide to select my trees for the branch splitting
and egg laying ceremony.

My last resort will be an application of Sevin (should a swarm of the Cicadas
threaten any of hard-earned ramifications in my deciduous trees).

Cordially,
