If you're noticing brown, pinecone-like bags hanging from your arborvitae, juniper, cedar, or other evergreens, you're likely dealing with bagworms.
These pests may look harmless, but they can quickly defoliate and weaken trees and shrubs—sometimes causing permanent damage or even plant death if left untreated.
✅ What to look for:
• Hanging spindle-shaped bags attached to branches
• Browning or thinning foliage
• Damage primarily on arborvitae, juniper, spruce, and cedar
⏰ Timing is everything.
The best time to treat bagworms is when they are young and actively feeding. Once they mature and seal themselves inside their bags, treatments become much less effective.
Your Perficut certified arborist can help identify infestations and recommend the right treatment plan to protect your landscape investment.
Don't wait until the damage is done—early intervention is key.
