The winter moth caterpillar is a smooth, green inchworm that has a narrow white stripe running lengthwise on each side of its body.

While most species are harmless, some moths can cause damage inside the home and in the garden.

Good housekeeping can prevent them. But should they get in, there are ways to get rid of them.

There are many kinds of beetles, some are beneficial and some do serious damage to plants.

Mid-spring (around late April) is the time to apply sticky barrier bands around trees, about 2-4 feet above the ground.
