Spring is here and so are the Tent Caterpillars! All around the neighborhood cotton candy like cocoons can be seen in the trees and shrubs. If left unchecked, these nuisances can damage plant-life and make a mess of your yard. Now is the time to inspect your trees, especially the red leaf plum trees. To keep the infestations under control, it’s best to remove the sacs before the caterpillars hatch.
