    Caterpillers

    Anyone else having trouble with the brown,fuzzy caterpillers ? The oak trees are full of em' and every evening they swarm the house and shop.Have been keeping them at bay with 7 dust and spraying Cutter,but I'm losing the battle.Will the lawn granules in a spreader slow them down any ? Am located in Galveston Co.

      Sounds like "web worms" or "tent caterpillars"

      My chickens keep them in check

        I mowed my grass yesterday and had about 100 of them hitching a ride before I was done.

          Probably tussock moth larva. Any of the pyrethroids will knock them down. Permethrin, bifenthrin, etc.

            Some of these are tenting in the oaks and there are a few of the tussocks in the trees also.Guy at work had a tussock down his shirt collar a few days ago,he was squalling like a baby goat !

              We had a bad infestation about 7 years ago in Dayton and area.

                Tent Caterpillars. I tried to make lemonade out of lemons with them last year and gathered a bunch for several fishing trips...couldn't get anything to bite em.
