Small, spindle-shaped bags hanging from arborvitae, juniper, or cedar foliage are a sign of bagworm activity, and mid-summer in Metro Atlanta is when infestations become impossible to miss.
Each bag holds a caterpillar feeding on the foliage around it. A light infestation thins a few branches, but a heavy one can strip an entire evergreen bare in a single season, and evergreens don't always recover the way deciduous trees do.
Our ISA Certified Arborists identify bagworm activity across Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Brookhaven, and Norcross properties and time treatment for when it is still effective. Once bags mature and seal shut later in the season, spraying does little good.
Catching the problem now, while caterpillars are small, makes the biggest difference for evergreen health.
