Arborvitae Bud Worms: Identification and Control

A homeowner discovered moving buds on an arborvitae hedge; squeezing one revealed a brown-black worm. Two shrubs died within a week. Concern: will the pests spread to nearby 50-year-old spruces?

The expert, not a tree specialist, recommends consulting a certified arborist or tree-care company immediately for accurate identification and treatment. Conifer pests can be specific and require professional intervention to protect valuable specimens.
