will get rid of the very voracious larval stages.

I'm also intrigued by the idea of using soapy water. Knocking the
worms off the trees could be very effective if there aren't many worms
or your trees aren't too big.

I just found a mass of light green w/brown head, worms, on our Pinon. The mas was at the very end of the branch; if they would not have been moving, I never would have seen them. I cut off the entire branch, placed it in a zip lock bag & took it to our conservancy district. He said they were budworms & Sevin or a strong stream of soapy water should work. Said once they fall off the tree they can not climb back up. Did the Sevin work? I just found a mass of light green w/brown head, worms, on our Pinon.
