Has anyone any tips on getting rid of them or in particular the caterpillars or better still discouraging them from paying us a visit in the first place? :brains:
They first appeared last year. This year I've been removing the caterpillars by hand now that I know what to look for but it's not that easy finding them all. I do appear to have reduced the amount of moths somewhat though.
Yesterday however I found that I have an ally. A wasp attacked, terminated and then demolished a box tree moth in front of my very eyes. It then flew off with a good chunk of its body. It was shocking |8.| ('X-Rated') so for the sake of those with a nervous disposition I haven't put any pictures up.
Note: Be kind to wasps !! :t:
