Our geese wouldn't eat the caterpillars (hairy worms?)

LMBO!!! I'm sorry you have to deal with those worms. They sound awful! BUT, you sure can tell a good story. Hugs

Thanks Ramona, I have to get my DH to go get some. Although he's suffering from a swollen foot the size of a football, he'll just have to hop his way up to the tree and sprinkle. This is the 1 issue not up for debate!! Either, hop and sprinkle or sleep on the porch. It's that serious!! :twisted:

Really laughing my butt off now! Poor hubby. I hope you find something that works.

You might try spraying them with clorox spray?

Ducks are as good as geese. We have a slug problem here. We had a pair of ducks when I was little and they ate every single slug and even the eggs. I'd rather put up with duck crap than worms or slugs any day. What kind of worms are they? I've never seen worms on our cherry trees.
