Council sprays the tents occaisionally up here if their crew has to work on an affected tree, does no good though cause the spines are just as bad on the dead insect as the live ones, in fact if they've been dead for a while its worse cause the spines break off and blow everywhere..and yes I mean everywhere

I'd like to see a pic of the sacks ... what they make a sack for a whole battalion of the buggers to sleep in an night or what?

Love see a tree with football sized sacks full of caterpillars.
