Exterminating Puss Caterpillars, Pg. 2: After inspecting the area to determine where caterpillars are actively feeding, cordon off the area. Suggestion: place yellow CAUTION tape, available at most hardware stores, around affected shrubs and trees. Most puss caterpillar infestations involve only a few trees or shrubs, so the cordoned area will be small.

At a municipal or private park, at a commercial establishment, or at your place of work, where you may not have authority to take such action, contact the managment, first by phone, next by email, to insure a written message is documented. Formally request that the affected area be cordoned off. In your email, link to this webpage so that the authority you communicate with can be brought up to speed on this caterpillar quickly, so that corrective steps will be taken.

Once a treatment method is selected, inspect daily for more caterpillars until several days pass without any being seen. Only then should the CAUTION tape be removed. NEXT PAGE. Page Menu:  1  *  2  *  3  *  4  *  5  *  6  *  7  *
