Azalea Red Headed Caterpillars

These jokers are eating the crap out of my azaleas…first time ever seeing them.

Remedy???

Thanks

I used malathion when they got on mine.

Hmm, never seen or heard of such a thing. Pictures??

They are everywhere. Never before.

This was the first time I had a problem with them,about a month ago. I wish I still had some leftover ddt.haha

I’ll keep my eyes open for those little suckers.

Smush em. I get them some years worse than others.

I have seen an increase in insects after the resent tropical storm. So called “love bugs” are very abundant. The best way to control the little buggers is to run into them with a car.

Sevin, malathion, #7 hook.

Get some bacillus thuringiensis, BT for short, it kills caterpillars and is not toxic to humans.

tractor supply sells malathion

Worst year ever for love bugs at my house. Glad they don’t bite!

Saw this on FB, half fill white bowl with water, pour baby oil on surface of water.

I sprayed with Mathion. They quit chewing quickly!!

I need some of those tearaway windshield layers like NASCAR when I come down that way:sunglasses:!!

Thanks Folks
