They usually affect fruit trees, especially cherry and a few years ago seattle did some heavy spraying trying to get rid of them. It helped for a couple years but now they are back in full force. I had them in my apple tree at the beginning of spring, a little spray right on the nest and they died.

RE: Caterpillars are Taking Over My Trees Post By Terry (Guest Post) (05/07/2004) About those Caterpillers,,,We had this problem a few years back and I sprayed the nests with Vinegar. This killed the little ones and it was not un safe for the trees. Use it full strength in a spray bottle. I hope this works for you.
