Are your Boxwood shrubs looking damaged? Perhaps you notice webbing, chewed or skeletonized leaves? You could be dealing with the boxwood caterpillar. It's important to get control of these pests before they severely damage or even kill your Boxwoods.
Staying ahead of infestations:
- Inspect your shrubs every 2-3 days for signs of caterpillars.
- Use a spray- Safer’s® BTK Caterpillar Killer - a biological insecticide that controls caterpillars including cabbage worm, tomato hornworm, tent caterpillars, LDD moth (formerly gypsy moth), leafrollers, and other listed insects. Simply mix the concentrate with water and spray on vegetables, fruit, trees, and ornamentals. After ingesting the treated portion of the leaf, caterpillars stop feeding within hours and die within a few days. This 100mL concentrate makes 33.3L of solution.
