Tent Caterpillars
"I think that I shall never see, a
tree without a tent filled with cater
pillars”. Yes, that’s about it, these
days, as the tent caterpillars return to
the summer scene to make life miser
able for all the property owners, If
you have a shrub, a cherry tree, an
apple tree or some other similar type
of ornamental, or fruit tree around
your home, the chances are these
worms are already settled there-in, or
they have their eyes upon it, for a fut
ure home. Although these pests usual
ly make their home in the briars,
choke-cherries, and .other such useless
trees, usually found on grass farms,
run down sections of land, or on fence
bottoms, they like to get into the
more valuable shrubs and trees as
well, just for a little variety. On the
alley at the rear of our home is a
liberal growth of such shrubbery, that
no one seems to want to claim as his powder. If you have a lot of cater-
or her own. In each of these bushes
several families of these caterpillars
have staked out their claims and made
ready to raise their families.
Despite torchlight parades, that
have led some of the neighbors to
think we are Sons of Freedom, setting
fire to another trestle of the CPR, still
these pesky worms continue. They
have been burned, sprayed and round
ly cursed, but still they live merrily
on, making life miserable. It wouldn’t
be too bad if they, would stay at home,
but every day they send out new
scouts to drum up business around
the neighbouring homes. Along the
way, they strip the garden of veget
ables, they climb over the garden fur
niture, crawl up the windows, and
drive half the female population into
a panic. The problem seems to be,
"How to dispose of them”.
The Department of Agriculture has
come up with a solution to this, and
to them we feel doubly grateful. The
only answer we seek now is, how to
persuade some property owners and
municipalities to co-operate, and
clean up their caterpillars? The cure
is simple, you head for the hardware
store and buy some wettable DDT
pillars, apply a mixture of two pounds
of this ppwder into 100 gallons of
water, and spray it on liberally. If
you have a small outgrowth of these
tents, mix four level tablespoonsful
into a gallon of water and do the
same. If you want to stop migrating
caterpillars, double the dose and apply
it to the tree trunks.
Well, now that I have the cure, I
shall head for the old camp ground
where these pests are tenting tonight,
and give them a cheery reception. I
hope you’ll do the same.
