Looks like another bad year for tentworms if my trees are any indication. Best get out there now and destroy them while they are just starting. They are about 1/2-5/8" long right now with small tents. I snip the limb off and immediately douse the tent in gas and light it. It may not be the best way...but it makes me feel sooo much better. I had seven or eight nests in three trees.

Some further reading if you're interested...

Thanks, Dave. I noticed one of those "tents" on one of my apple trees the other day. I'll use it to light my campfire like a Maltov cocktail.

Just remember, snip first then burn.
