Do your evergreen, oak, or perhaps cedar trees have sacs on the branches? Those aren’t pinecones; they’re the cocoons of the bagworm moth, and they’re bad news.

Them
The go-to ingredient for killing bagworms is Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). It’s a natural bacterium that works best when the larvae are small. We also use sprays with permethrin or spinosad and they get the job done fast.
Bagworm moths chew through leaves and needles like it’s a buffet. If you don’t act fast, they can strip your evergreens bare and even kill the tree. They’re sneaky and destructive.
Neem oil is a solid natural option. Spray it directly on the bugs and their bags. It messes with their ability to eat and reproduce. Good for an eco-friendly bagworm treatment.
They build cone-shaped “bags” using silk, leaves, and twigs. The larvae inside look like small brown or black caterpillars. If you see these bags hanging from branches, that’s your warning sign.
Do regular checks in late spring. If you see the bags, pull them off and destroy them before the larvae hatch. That’s the best DIY move before you need a full bagworm treatment.
Timing is everything. The best time to spray for bagworms is late spring to early summer, right after they hatch but before they seal themselves in their bags. That’s when treatments work best.
It starts with eggs laid in the fall. They hatch in spring, feed like crazy, build bags, and then pupate inside. Males turn into moths and fly off to find a mate. Females stay in the bag their whole lives.
