They're Baaack!


The Cutworms are back this year. This time however, I'm going at them early. Last year we were on vacation and came back to find the trees, deck and house covered in them. This year at first sight, I went out and bought a bottle of insecticide that attaches to the hose and another hose so I can reach to the bottom of the yard. I WILL have leaves on my trees this year dammit! Thankfully the day after I spotted them, Eric came and mowed the yard which I'm sure took care of some of them, and then that night I sprayed the yard down. Hopefully it works enough to protect the trees. It got hot in the house without the leaves to block that afternoon sun.

  1. Kind of like caterpillars but they don't turn into butterflies. They pretty much chew up all the leaves on a tree.
