attack of the killer inch worms.............


 run..... run for your life....they will stop at nothing....... they will eat anything in their path.......Barkley get out of the way!!!! at our home on lenmore we have came under attack, we have an infestation of inch worms they are every where. if you zoom in on the above pick you can see hundreds if not thousands crawling up the side of garage, and Barkley's dog house. they are hanging  from everything, dogeing  worms has became a daily practice. when we come in from outside we have two or three hanging off our clothing, we haven't ever seen them this bad.




here is one of the culprits inching his/her way along to join the others in total domination and destruction of all things green.





 

 if you stand under the great tree beside the garage and you are silent you can hear worm droppings falling from the sky, it sounds like rain falling on the leafs. droppings are every where, when i touch the driveway with my hand you can see the small droppings sticking to my hand. what we need is a good frost just not for  good for the plants, but will there be any plants left after the worms have their fill?

is it because skynet has become self-aware? are the inchworms actually ROBOTS?!

anyway, came across this post after i googled something to the effect of inchworms falling like rain, or something. i just assumed it was the inchworms falling, not their poo. CRAZY!

a quick fix to this problem is to get an old spray bottle, around 32 fl oz, rinse out and fill with water add 1tsp of dish soap to the spray bottle recap and shake to mix evenly, you can use this to spray the shrubs and potted plants in reach. this will kill the existing inch worms and help protect the plants. you will most likely have to repeat the process but it will stop them from destroying your plants. the soap is diluted so it should not hurt your plants. i use this method and it works.
