I remember I did the same about 20 yrs ago during the last infestation I recall.

They come down from the trees in the morning to rest I'm told, then back up in the tress in the afternoon.

Sure enough, I wrapped trees around noon today, around 1:00pm they started to climb back up the trees but wouldn't cross the tape !
Who knew they could tell time !

ITD..... FYI I'm located in Central Mass.


Thanks Descant for your comment !
I lived in Worcester when the last invasion happened, defoliated almost all the trees. It was nasty.
