Pest control

In this video Paul and Steven remove tent caterpillars from an apple tree.

They discuss why this might be happening and what to do to change the conditions so the tree will be heathy.

What about spraying neem oil or DE on hard to reach spots?

I think I would try that if just disturbing them with a broom or something did not work.  

I really like the idea of training the wild birds to eat them!   Just mess up their nest so the birds can get at them and they may learn to tear into the nests on their own.
