    Hi everyone,

    Not sure which section to post my question so if I am in the wrong one, admin pls move my discussion accordingly.

    Here is my question: recently I discover one of the pine trees in my back yard is under attack by the bagworm. (I assume they are bagworm, after googling a bit)

    Can anyone share some tips how to get rid of these worms? Any treatment suggestion or companies in the lower mainland is welcome.

    Pls see attached photos.

    Thank you

    I believe spraying some B.T.K. might work.

    That's the feedback I received after a visit to Home Depot this afternoon.
    I probably need more than one bottle to spray the chemical.

    Any other alternative method or suggestion to remove the worms?

    Get a pruning pole, cut the branch off and burn it, or stomp on it to kill them.

    If you want more suggestions for how to treat these pests, try googling tent caterpillars instead of bagworms.
