Insecticide For Box Tree Caterpillar
The adult moth normally has white wings with a brown border, although they can be either clear or completely brown or clear. Female moths lay pale yellow eggs in a sheet on the underside of the leaves.
The eggs hatch into caterpillars that have greenish-yellow bodies and black heads. As the caterpillars grow, they develop thick black and thin white stripes along their body and can reach up to 4cm (1½in) in length and spin webbing among the leaves and branches where they feed.
The caterpillars then develop into pupae, which are concealed in a cocoon within the webbing.
Box tree caterpillars only feed on box (Buxus) plants and shouldn’t be confused with other caterpillars.
Symptoms
The caterpillars eat the leaves of box and produce webbing over their feeding area, often causing severe defoliation. Don’t confuse the webbing with the webs of spiders.
Badly affected plants may also show signs of dieback. This may be especially apparent on plants used for hedging or topiary that are trimmed.
Treatment and control
Wherever practical, remove the caterpillars by hand, or prune out stems covered in the webbing and caterpillars and destroy.
Spraying with an insecticide such as BugClear Ultra Gun! may prove useful in their control – a thorough spraying is needed to penetrate the webbing.
