I'm told that everyone is having a problem with caterpillars this year in my
area. There are tent caterpillars and a bunch of others. They're all over
my neighbor's baby fruit trees and seem to be coming over to my lot for
dessert. They've munched most of the new growth off of my expensive new
chinoides rhododendrons.

What's the best approach to dealing with them? I've seen people talking
about a bacillus, but didn't see it at the garden center.

The tent caterpillars will not do permanent damage to the trees.

I have never seen tent caterpillars attack my rhododendrons.
