Answered for Pittsboro, Hendricks County.
A routine annual problem on Indiana evergreen hedging. In Pittsboro, two completely different tree populations in one small town: the original grid near Meridian and Main carries full-size 80-100 year old shade trees over the roofline, while the post-1997 subdivisions that hold most of Pittsboro's houses are still on 20-to-30-year-old nursery stock planted at the ordinance minimum of 2.5-inch caliper. No municipal tree inventory or canopy study for Pittsboro was found, so species dominance is inferred from housing age and the UDO's planting standards rather than measured. An evergreen stripped by bagworms usually does not regrow those needles — arborvitae and spruce don't refoliate bare wood.

Small spindle-shaped bags hanging from branches, made of the tree's own needles. Often mistaken for cones.
An evergreen stripped by bagworms usually does not regrow those needles — arborvitae and spruce don't refoliate bare wood. Catching them early is the difference between a treatment and a replacement.
Spray in June when the larvae are small. After midsummer the bags are sealed and spraying does nothing — at that point picking them off by hand is the only option that works.
