Re: NYers beware: tent caterpillars


The yellow jackets bother me -- Not so much anymore since we started  getting 
a landscaper to mow the lawn, but when I mowed the lawn, I couldn't go  five 
feet without out them freaking out and whizzing around my  head.  I would stop 
until they went away, but they'd start up again 10  feet away.  It would take 
FOREVER to get the lawn done because I kept  having to stop.  
 
I really wouldn't break out the spray unless it was an absolute  emergency.  
I never use pesticides really, and I usually don't have bug  problems.  The 
tent caterpillar was a new thing for me.

I always  see all sorts of wasps in my garden and they virtually never
bother  me.  I never use any sort of fragrance, that may be  why.
