Cankerworms (aka Inchworms)

April 29th, 2008 by Carl

Cankerworms, aka Inchworms, are typically a problem in Northern Utah in the month of May.  Cankerworms (Inchworms) are best known for attacking and defoliating scrub oak.  Extermiman does provide tree spraying with horticultural oils or pyrethroid products for this problem (depending on how early the problem is addressed) on both small and large scale projects.  We have provided some links which provide more information about cankerworms (inchworms).
