Every year the infestation of these disgusting little pests is worse in the
small wild cherry tree that shades some of my shade garden. I use Neem and
burn out other tents with old t-shirts tied on a long pole, but I can't
reach most of the tents. I live in fear that the tree will be totally
defoliated or even killed. Is there any way to prevent the infestation in
the first place? How do they get there? Is it from a flying critter or
something that climbs the trunk? If the latter, would tanglefoot work? I'm
getting desperate here.
