The way my husband gets them is to take a rag wrap it around a long pole and soak it in diesel set it on fire and burn the nest before they hatch and come out. this is the old farmers way and it works. ----- Original Message ----- From: Joan Fox To: Janbraeloch@xxxxxxx ; pmick@xxxxxxxxx Cc: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ; Germanshepherds4Show@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 9:42 AM Subject: [Germanshepherds4Show] Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Help!! I've got caterpillars Seriously, spraying does not do much to the adults. You have to spray the larvae when they are hanging on the trees and just come out and start eating. -------Original Message------- From: Peggy Date: 06/07/06 12:35:39 To: Janbraeloch@xxxxxxx Cc: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; Germanshepherds4Show@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Help!! I've got caterpillars The only way to get rid of them is to spray, unfortunately. And I'm talking big time spray, like with a licensed exterminator who will spray from a tank truck. You could spend the rest of your life running from tree to tree with little cans of spray and they'll still be there. You can lock up the dogs until the spray settles...and cover your fish ponds, etc., too... when they are going to spray in our area, they let us know ahead of time so we can put covers on fish ponds, get the dogs and kids indoors, and by nightfall, it's fairly safe........at least, it has been so far. I'm not sure that tent caterpillars are like locusts, in that they come around in cycles...but we don't get sprayed every year, just for a couple of years and then it seems not to be a problem for a while, then it all starts again........ Good luck! I hate 'em, too! Peggy Janbraeloch@xxxxxxx wrote: >So far it is caterpillars 3 million, my rock and I, 400. Help!!! >We are being overrun with tent caterpillars.
