I couldn't help but notice your post regarding the Spruce and Viburnum. We have a Christmas Tree Farm and just now the bag worms are all over everything. I have not noticed the Mites, but I will certainly check that out. We are spraying today with sevin (sp) I am sure you know what I mean, that seems to take care of the bag worms. The arborvitae is a mess. I have a row of that beside my parking area and this is the first year it has been as full as it is. These are very tall trees, about 8 years old or more. I am so worried I might loose them.
As for critters, we have an invasion of groundhogs and their babies. They are coming from the farm next door that has been vacant for two years. They found our side of the fence much more tasty. They are eating the veggies before the rabbits and squirrels can get to them. They are digging holes under our new fence and beginning to get my dander up. If I catch them in my GH It will not be a haveahart trap it will be sudden death for sure. I do not mind them sharing the scraps for the birds, i.e. recycled things from the parrot cages, but my patience is fading with the garden.
