Bagworms often defoliate conifer and deciduous trees. The worms move slowly, because the queen does not fly, making it possible to remove them naturally. Bagworms winter over as eggs inside a small sack on the female. The sacks enlarge in early summer when the larvae attach to the tree and grow. Remove the sacks naturally during this four-week growth period for best results.
Step 1
Inspect the tree to verify the bags contain bagworms. The 2-inch bags are cone-shaped and hang from the end of the branches. Infected conifers have bags that appear as small pinecones.

Step 2
Pick the bags off the tree by hand and place them in a plastic bag. Wear rubber gloves.
Step 3
Check the tree to verify the removal of all bags.
Step 4
Inspect surrounding trees and remove any bags from worms that have spread.
Step 5
Tie the plastic bag closed and dispose in the garbage or burn to prevent spreading the worms to other trees in the area.
