Tent catipilars 30 feet up

[Fantail]

Damned things.

Usually I just get a long stick and destroy the nests, does a good job. Sometimes I'll blast them with spray or 7. But these clowns are way up in two black cherry trees. Can't reach them.

Suggestions please.

Cut the tree down and burn it for winter heat. LOL catipilars a dead and you are nice and cozy on a cold winters day!

strange they would be out this late? Usually they have already turned into moths by now.

Use the wasp and hornet spray that goes like 30' . It kills them very well.

Usually find the 15'-20' jazz. And you just know they realy don't have the nads. But ok for most apple trees etc. Guess it's time for a drive over to tractor supply.

you don't have to use a lot. No need to blow through the tant and coat them. just coat the tent and I think the vapors do most of it. THey reallllly don't like that stuff...lol

Well, the 29' stuff petered out at 15'-20'. Maybe I can fasten a can on a 20' stick and trigger it somehow.

Sounds like a personal problem , Fan...lol. got a ladder?

[Fantail]

Haha funny you ask that. Was just talking with a co-worker about wasp nests way up in corner crevases & such. Got a 8` step ladder for camp, thought about breaking up the nests with 2x pvc pipes together. Or - get on the climber go 20` up without branches in the way and try the spray again. Or - the climber idea with something like a pole spray extender.
