Small bag shaped cocoons appearing on arborvitae and cedar trees around Chattanooga right now are bagworms, and they are actively feeding.
A light infestation might just look like odd ornaments hanging in the branches, but a heavy one can strip a mature evergreen of its needles in a single season, sometimes permanently.
Catching it early, before the bags mature and the worms move to a new host tree, is what makes treatment effective and keeps the damage from spreading to nearby evergreens.
Chattanooga property owners with arborvitae, cedar, or juniper hedges should take a close look at the branches this month.
