Best ways to kill those Pesky 10,000 catipillers

[Tri-ZNate]

Ok its that time of year again and the catipilars are in full force (I'm refering to the ones that hatch out of those white nests in trees). So far I have used motor oil, cear coat, and black spray paint. These are my results


Motor oil- Kills almost on contact (works best if most are still in the nest ;))
Clear coat- works well if used heavily and they wont go more than 6" (normal can=100 catipillars)
Black Spray Paint- When covered they wont go more than 6" before dieing.


Post any redneck ways you have of killing these (and other) insects.

The best way we have found is to use a torch and burn them all. Simply touching their nest with the torch will make it go up in flames and they die.. you can't do it in drought season, though.

Some gas and a torch should do you a ton of good in a hurry!

my grandma was tellin me the way she does it is she soaks a rag in karoseen, places it ont he end of a broom stick, and lights it. She confirmed that the burn real good ;)

Napalm or agent orange will also work good on those pesky critters.

I've noticed alot of those nests around this year as well. (Gypsymoth caterpillers) I remember they spreyed for them a couple years ago and they went away for the longest time... I guess it's time to do it again..

Hair spray and a lighter.
Thats the ticket right there!

[Rm250RF900R]

hmm you got me thinking now. I'm going to experiment on a few nests.

[corndawg]

just use one of those little propane torches, thast how i get rid of wasps lol

[Rm250RF900R]

Well I found out the oil you put in those misquito torches works pretty good. Also WD40 and a match.

[ATC crazy]

Shotgun. Works wonders!

I get some brake cleaner or carb cleaner whichever is cheaper and a torch. I don't want any of these things burning my fingers. You can also get a chainsaw and cut down the trees and make a bond fire. :)

Ether and a lighter. hehe works awsome.

[Tri-ZNate]

I was taking laquer thinner to them and OH MAN just a little bit and they start inverting themselves. It kills them like crazy and is fun to watch too :twisted:

[peeweesp]

are county just sprayed for them, a crop duster went over 3 times last week

[bkipker2009]

i bet if the nest was low enough we could smok em out with cragsters "new" 350x
lmao
