If I have mites, or Bagworms, what should I use? Also when do I use Sprays of horticultural oil control overwintering stages. and Which is the best one to use.
There are a few control methods - the first being to hand pick the bags and larvae and squash and/or burn them. A biological control is to spray young larvae in June with Bacillus thuringiensis - also known as BT. Finally, chemical products registered for bagworm control are: acephate (Orthene), bendiocarb (Ficam, Turcam), bifenthrin (Talstar), carbaryl (Sevin), chlorpyrifos (Dursban), cyfluthrin (Tempo), diazinon, dimethoate (Cygon), fluvalinate (Mavrik), malathion, nicotine sulfate, pyrethrum, permethrin (Pounce), rotenone and trichlorfon (Dylox, Proxol). Good luck :-)
