I just came in from walking my dog and these green caterpillars were all over both of us. In my hair, my beard, it’s disgusting. I’ve had it, they are worse than empty Fireball nips and Newport packs. Are these things worse after a snowy winter or something? I don’t remember them ever being this bad. They are so soft and squishy and gross and… and… green.
Also, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but they’re like acrobats. I purposely didn’t go anywhere near any trees on our walk, but somehow these little bastards are just floating around in mid air and clinging to us. How many people do you think accidentally ate one on their Memorial Day hot dog this weekend? Let’s just hope they all turn into moths and fly into a bug zapper soon because it’s getting to the point where I feel like they are all over me, all the time.

They are also king our trees. I've had my trees sprayed every year or 4-5 years. Hasn't helped because my neighbors don't have theirs sprayed. Worst year yet.
I feel like a prisoner in my own house, and their little black poop balls stick to everything.

Definitely killing lots of trees in my yard, they are everywhere, only good thing is that my chickens have a feast eating them!

winter moth. They are bad…not to mention their poop and eat lives. They can defoliate a 40 ft. Oak tree overnight.

Go to Mahoney's in east Falmouth or Osterville and get cpt jacks stuff it really does help cant get it at any walmart or job lot
I spray the Captn Jacks, but do it later in the evening so I don't kill honeybees. Even organics, like spinosad will kill honeybees. 🙁
