Fury catapillars with yellow spikey heads have eaten all my twisted maple tree and are now attacking my begonias


How do I kill them???

    Did you take any of the advice on your previous thread, like spraying them with a pesticide or a hose jet?

    As before, I don't recommend picking them by hand because of the danger from the irritant hairs on them.

    There really isn't much else you can do.
