Extension Service: Worms In Local Trees Not A Concern
October 10, 2013
Fall webworms are active in local trees but are not a concern at this time of the year, according to the Escambia County Extension Service. Caterpillars are feeding on leaves and trees may not look their best as a result, but they will survive just fine. If you can reach the webs and caterpillars you may try to physically remove them but insecticides and pruning are not recommended practices at this time of the year. Leaves are getting ready to fall off and trees will put out new foliage next year, the Extension Service said. Courtesy photo for NorthEscambia.com, click to enlarge.

Why do you think they are aggravating? They pretty much stay in the trees not bothering anyone.
These Worms Are Everywhere! And Are Really Aggravating!
