Protect Your Evergreens Before Damage Begins

Bagworms can cause severe, rapid decline in Oklahoma evergreens. Once larvae build their protective cases, most treatments become ineffective and damage is often irreversible. Our Bagworm Prevention Treatment targets the early hatch stage, stopping infestations before they start and preserving the health of your shrubs and trees.

What This Service Does

One-time fogged treatment that protects evergreens from early-season bagworms by preventing young larvae from feeding and attaching.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions: Bagworm Prevention

Understand how preventative treatment protects your landscape and what to expect on service day.

Question

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

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

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

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

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

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

Do I need this treatment every year?

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

How long does a Bagworm Prevention treatment last?

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.
