We got an e-mail about army worms in our pecan trees at the lake. We have a pecan tree on the side of our smoke house and another by the bunk house. I've usually poked the webs on the trees and let the wasps get them. Are web worms and army worms the same thing? In the 28 years we've had the lake house, we've always had web worms to deal with. It's never been a big deal. I'm not sure if our neighbors are overreacting because they've just started going up to the lake during the cool months and haven't seen them before, or if there really is an "invasion." We were just up there a week ago and there were no webs anywhere. He didn't mention webs, just worms.
According to the e-mail, the worms are in every pecan tree in the neighborhood. However, "our worms" are going into their yard! Is there something to use on the worms that will kill them, but won't kill us?
I was going to post his e-mail because the seriousness of the matter came across as pretty silly. I guess we're going to have to drive up there and upset the eco-system. Please let me know if we can spray something to stop them from covering our neighbors while they sleep.
