Bagworms in knockouts?

A few days ago I posted some pictures of some Indian Hawthorns that had been eaten up by bagworms.

Well today I came across some Knockouts that have been DESTROYED by bagworms!

It is most common to see them in Junipers, Cedars, Cypress etc., but it is very important to remember that they will attack other plants as well.

Keep an eye out for plants that look like they are literally being eaten. Bagworms are very easy to identify due to the large "bag" that hangs from the limbs and stems of the plant.

Dealing with them is pretty simple. For smaller shrubs or trees, simply remove all the bags by hand and dispose of them. For larger trees where the bags are out fo reach, apply a Bifenthrin spray treatment to kill them.

It does not take them long to do their damage, so if you see them, deal with them ASAP!
