Box Tree Caterpillars have rapidly become a serious pest of Box plants and Box hedges all across the UK. The Box Tree Caterpillars can develop in large numbers and in severe cases are capable of completely killing Box plants. The caterpillars will defoliate the plants and damage the leaves, leaving them in a skeletal state. The caterpillars may even bore into the bark of more mature Box plants if left untreated. Identifying Box Tree Caterpillars The Box Tree Moths will lay flat, pale yellow eggs that overlap each other in a flat sheet on the underside of the leaves on your Box plants. The larvae that hatch are of a greenish-yellow composition with black heads. As the larvae mature their green body develops dark brown stripes. Very mature larvae have thick black and thin white stripes down the body, with large black dots outlined in white. Look for clear webbing left on the plants which is created when the caterpillars achieve high numbers How Do I Treat My Box Tree Caterpillar Infestation Using This Bundle? 1. Firstly, use our Box Tree Moth Traps: The first step in protecting your plants is to set up your Box Tree Moth Trap. This will assist you in catching, monitoring and killing male Box Tree Moths. Once these adult moths are observed, it is likely that the Box tree Caterpillars will follow a few weeks later. By pre-empting their activity, and reducing moth numbers, you will have a greater chance of limiting a severe infestation. Moth mating and egg laying will also be reduced as a result. 2. Next, apply our Box Tree Caterpillar Killer Nematodes: Nematodes can be used as an effective form of biological control against the caterpillars. The most successful species of nematode for Box Tree Caterpillar control is the Steinernema carpocapsae, which is contained within our Box Tree Caterpillar Killer Nematode pack. Apply these nematodes as soon as small caterpillars are observed and spray directly onto the caterpillar pests. You may wish to consider supplementing your bundle with our Nema Super Sprayer if you are seeking an easier method of applying your nematodes. The Nema Super Sprayer can be found here. 3. Consider supplementing your bundle with the use our Soil Boost Granules to help your Box plants recover If your Box plants have sustained damage from these horrible Box Tree Caterpillar pests you may wish to aid their recovery with the application of our Soil Boost Granules.
