Bag worms

[Bayard]

Anyone ever dealt with bagworms in their evergreens? We have a row of 60+ foot high cedars that act as a screen and windbreak. This year, the bagworms are overtaking them, no matter how much we spray (you can only get so high on that tall a tree). A couple look like they're dying, others have big brown areas. We've hand-picked thousands of them off. They're even getting in the landscaping shrubs.

I hate losing these nice old trees. Ideas?

1. Google Bagworms. Treatment is effective in May.

2. I've had a few in pecan trees, but they never seemed to damage the trees.

3. Have some sort of expert exterminator?

We had the same problem. Never did get rid of them. We finally moved to Florida and haven't seen a bagworm since.
