Introducing natural enemies, pruning, removing, and spraying are ways to eliminate caterpillars in the process of destroying trees. Attention must be paid to what is triggering the larval presence: absent or insufficient numbers of natural enemies; damaged, dead, diseased, dying woody plant parts; or inappropriate environment because of improper aeration or moisture, inadequate soil nutrients, incorrect soil pH levels. Removing caterpillars with glove-encased hands and unhealthy tree parts with trimmers and spraying with insecticides or water usually will solve minor problems.
