I’ve been receiving calls on webworms<\/a> that are in trees surrounding Ladybird Lake. we also have webworms in a tree at the Demonstration Garden. Since it’s a demonstration garden, I’m using the webworms as a….you guessed it!….demonstration.<\/p>\n

I’m sure that you have been told (even possibly by me) that you can manage webworms by removing webs and knocking them out the tree with a stick. I decided to see how well it actually works. So far, it’s going pretty well. I started two weeks ago when we had a pretty good covering of webs on the tree. I took a metal pole (actually the handle of an insect net which I had in my office) and removed as much of the webbing as I could from the branches. I made a pile of webbing and caterpillars on the ground while removing the webs and that got taken to the garbage when I was finished. I also whacked on the tree branches a few times after removing as much of the webbing as I could to dislodge any caterpillars. I repeated the process every Monday and Friday. Today when I checked on the webworms, there was only one small new web spun very close to a small branch. The rest of the area has dead leaves and some loose webbing clinging to the branches, but the webworms aren’t actively there anymore. I removed the small section of webbing I found today and whacked the branch. I’ll check the situation again on Monday. While I’m not completely done with the demonstration, so far it is looking pretty good.<\/p>\n
