Controlling Bagworm in the Landscape (492 words)
The bagworm is an insect native to the United States and is common in eastern Nebraska.
The adult male bagworm is a small, furry gray moth with clear wings; the adult female does not have wings and never leaves the bag she constructs during feeding.
Bagworms can be controlled on small plants by handpicking during the winter and spring before the eggs begin to hatch in late May. Destroy bags by burning, immersing in kerosene or by crushing.
Page 2 (655 words)
The bagworm can be a constant threat to evergreen and deciduous shrubs used for landscaping and windbreaks.
The most noticeable or visible sign of a bagworm infestation is the presence of silken bags attached to a branch.
The bagworm also is attacked by some insect predators and parasitoids that usually are effective in controlling small to moderate populations.
