Caught in a Web-How to Identify and Manage Webworm & Eastern Tent Caterpillar

Caught in a Web-How to Identify and Manage Webworm & Eastern Tent Caterpillar

Ever notice tiny web tents throughout your street trees in the late spring and summer? Those are called webworm, and they are a common problem for street trees in New Jersey. There are two types of webworm: a spring variety, which is called eastern tent caterpillar, and fall webworm. These worms can defoliate your trees and look very unsightly. For the most part, webworm will not kill your tree outright, but it will eat up a good portion of the tree’s leaves. In extreme cases or on very young trees affected by webworm, the tree can die, so proper diligence and removal will help to reduce the burden of webworm on your street trees.
