It does leave a dark stain, for sure. I have not noticed any damage yet to the

You might try applying a sticky substance like Tanglefoot in a band around the

their eggs
for the next season.

What does tanglefoot do to the bark if you don't put the barrier
there? I always wondered, never found where it said what would
happen.
