Question 1

Why should I prevent bagworms instead of waiting until I see damage?

Accepted Answer

Bagworms can cause rapid and often irreversible injury to evergreens once feeding begins. After larvae build their protective bags, most treatments are ineffective. Preventing early feeding is the most reliable way to protect hedges, arborvitae, cedars, and junipers from long-term decline.

Question 2

When is the best time to apply a Bagworm Prevention treatment?

Accepted Answer

Bagworm Prevention is applied during the early hatch period, typically from late May through early June. Timing is guided by Growing Degree Days (GDD), which predict when young larvae emerge. Treating during this window allows us to stop feeding before larvae form protective cases.

Question 3

Is this treatment safe for my family, pets, and plants?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once the application has dried, treated areas are safe for people and pets to re-enter. Evergreen species tolerate these products well when applied at proper rates, and your technician will note any plant health concerns during service.

Question 4

Do I need this treatment every year?

Accepted Answer

Properties with a history of bagworms, nearby cedars or junipers, or dense evergreen screens often benefit from annual prevention. Bagworms tend to return to the same areas if left unmanaged. Regular yearly treatments provide consistent protection for your landscape investment.

Question 5

How long does a Bagworm Prevention treatment last?

Accepted Answer

This application protects your evergreens throughout the bagworm feeding period. Protection duration depends on plant density, canopy size, and environmental conditions, but most landscapes receive full-season coverage with a single preventive treatment.
