Fall Webworm Season is Here
Fall webworm is most often discovered when the unsightly, light gray, silken webs on the trees in late summer and early fall are observed. Although not real common, webs can cover the entire tree and consume all leaves in the process. To make matters worse, while these caterpillars defoliate trees they leave behind a massive amounts of black fecal pellets. Fortunately, most trees can survive a single defoliation. Controls are readily available for home and woodlot owners. Effective use of these controls requires a good understanding of the biology of this pest.
