these are nasty buggers.. we would have swarms of them when we lived in Alberta.. sometime so thick crossing the highways that cars would skid on the masses and cause accidents.. they LOVE MayDay trees - but almost any deciduous tree will do.. unfortunately, spraying is the only way to get a broadcasted coverage of control..can you move the dogs out of the area for a time? haven't seen a tent caterpillar since we moved west.. not sorry either..
