pecan tree bag worms


Question
we have a big problem with bag worms/web worms using seven spray now a friend used a paste around bottom of tree and can't get any don't know name of it

Answer
The product you are asking about is called Tanglefoot. It is sticky and is spread either on the trunk or on a band of tape around the trunk. The caterpillars will crawl down the trunk when they are looking for a place to pupate and get stuck in the tanglefoot. You can also spray the trunk with an insecticide called Orthene and this will do the same thing--as the caterpillar crawls down the trunk it get Orthene on its body killing the insect. Orthene is a systemic insecticide and lasts longer than Sevin and can be used on the foliage as well. Check with your local nursery for these products. http://www.tanglefoot.com/products/index.htm
