What does treatment for bagworms cost?

Answered for Bargersville, Johnson County.

A routine annual problem on Indiana evergreen hedging. In Bargersville, no street tree inventory exists for Bargersville and it is not among the 23 communities in the Indiana DNR street tree sample, so the picture is an expectation from the build-out pattern: most of the canopy should be nursery stock roughly five to twenty-five years old, not yet over the roofline, with mature shade trees concentrated in Old Bargersville, Three Notch Village and the few pre-war properties. The UDC's Approved Plant List steers new planting toward natives and flags which species may go under utility lines, though the list's contents are unverified. An evergreen stripped by bagworms usually does not regrow those needles — arborvitae and spruce don't refoliate bare wood.

Bargersville's canopy and what's at risk

No street tree inventory exists for Bargersville and it is not among the 23 communities in the Indiana DNR street tree sample, so the picture is an expectation from the build-out pattern: most of the canopy should be nursery stock roughly five to twenty-five years old, not yet over the roofline, with mature shade trees concentrated in Old Bargersville, Three Notch Village and the few pre-war properties. The UDC's Approved Plant List steers new planting toward natives and flags which species may go under utility lines, though the list's contents are unverified.

What to look for

Small spindle-shaped bags hanging from branches, made of the tree's own needles. Often mistaken for cones.

Whether the tree can be saved

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.

Timing in Johnson County

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.
