Tree caterpillar nests look like silken bags hanging in branches. You can either remove each nest by cutting the silken string at its top and then dropping the entire nest in soapy water or tear the nest open with a stick and let birds prey on the caterpillars inside. The pests feed during the day when the sun shines.
Use pruning shears to cut a sucker down from the base of a tree if you waited too long for removal and the sucker is too strong to tear. Again, make the cut right at the tree's base or the ground to remove all of the sucker above ground level. Avoid using herbicides to eliminate suckers on any type of tree.Though herbicides may work to kill suckers, just as they do any other weed, herbicides also get into the soil around the tree. While a small amount of herbicide won't kill a full-grown tree, it does weaken the root system and may cause future issues.gain, make the cut right at the tree's base or the ground to remove all of the sucker above ground level.
