I joined this site with a goal that sounds normal.
To learn to make a mold and cast a boolit.
Until you realize I want to make a 1.4 caliber boolit for a spud gun. This is my goal! Feel free to come hate or help me reach it.

The few I have seen this year I use a stick to squash all of them and tear the nest up. I have noticed the crows tearing the nests up also I have never seen this before. A few years ago they were real bad here I sprayed them with different insecticides we need DDT back it is the best.
When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.
A 12 guage with lots of #12 shot. Muzzle loader would be most spectacular.

I used a Bernz-o-matic on them this year, at least on those I could reach. For higher ones, I think the torch duct taped to a broom handle would work nicely. We got them back in March down here, but they're pretty well "gone by " now.
Just use a cheap plastic pump-up sprayer and some fruit tree spray or liquid Sevin, sure beats using fire!

For large nests to high for sprayer I have used the 12 ga it often drops the branch but does less damage than the insects in the long run.....and besides it is fun!

Sevin works and there are others called eight or nine that work fine too. Just too many to reach so a sprayer does the job.
I would gather what I could reach, toss in the gravel road, pour gas on them and torch them off.
What is a tent caterpillar??
A pic would be nice.
Thanks
Haven't seen any here in S In...yet. But they were all over up in Ft McCoy
When I was a Boy Scout in the 50s we used to go out and cut them down and burn them. It was a public service project.

Just spray with wd-40 and walk away. Kill's'em on contact
Some insecticide on the nest does the trick for me. I have to admit, fire is more fun.
A leaf blower can get a lot of powdered insecticide up into the trees, do it when the sun is going down though, wouldn't want the fire department called....

I was also going to suggest the leaf blower trick but unless it's a small tree that method can get expensive unless you can find some really cheap dust. WD40 is a terrible idea since it can, and will, do serious damage to the tree or plant being sprayed and in fact it can easily kill a small tree. I have a beautiful large Maple in my front yard with a large scar and rotting wood near the base that my idiot FIL sprayed penetrating oil on killing insects, within two weeks the bark peeled off over the sprayed area leaving the wood underneath exposed- do not spray ANY kind of solvents like WD40, Liquid Wrench, etc on any plant or tree you do not want damaged!!! Obviously fire also will damage a tree and if damage from tent caterpillars to the plant is a concern I just can't understand why anyone would use fire in an attempt to control them? Many insecticides can be used, even the household "spray bombs" are very effective for smaller trees and very large infestations can easily be controlled with a small inexpensive (less than $10 at Wally World) pump-up sprayer.
