Caterpillars in sac attacking apple tree
Tear at the web and wasps will eat the caterpillars, or use Bt-K which is sold
as Dipel or BioWorm and is a dust. The caterpillar ingests it and gets sick. It will not harm anything other than the caterpillars, even if birds eat them.

I live in Denmark but have only come across the phenomenom in my childhood in the UK. I remember one summer in the mid 80's that a warning came on the news about sacs of caterpillars that could cause an allergic reaction if touched. They hung in sacs on trees and I remember we had a tree like thsi ion our front garden. The question is how do I get rid of them as they seem to be slowly eating away at both the leaves and the small fruits on my apple tree? P |
