Getting Rid of Caterpillars- Did You Know?
By |
During late spring and early summer, stinging caterpillars can become a problem, especially in areas with lots of trees. While insecticides are an option for some, one Central resident, Mr. Owen Prestridge, has a different technique. Mix a few tablespoons of liquid detergent into a squirt bottle of water. Then, simply spray the caterpillars with the mixture, and it causes them to dry up. This also works for the non-stinging variety. This is an inexpensive and possibly less toxic option to try out before resorting to insecticides.
