I mentioned before oranges works really well to kill ants, this year for some reason not working so well, not sure why??? Do you have problems with grubs in lawns in Upstate NY like we do here in Quebec?? We are not allowed to use any chemicals here on plants or anything outdoors....anyone have good alternatives??? The microbes don't seem to work!!! Yuck.

I hope you keep those lttle rascals at bay for the rest of the summer. I thought my battle yesterday with aphids was bad but your catapillar battle wins hands down.

I empathize with you - at least our bush was a lot smaller than yours. DH was even slicing them in half with a box cutter. I remember when I was a kid that year we had that terrible, terrible infestation and so many trees were defoliated and they were spraying pesticide over the area with airplanes. Hope it never gets to that point again!!!

If it wasn't the middle of the night I'd run outside right now to check on my three dwarf mugo pines. At least now if I encounter these evil pests I'll know how to get rid of them. Thanks. Ew yuck.
