Need help with worms on shrubs...

Posted by scardanelli (My Page) on

Hello,

For a while now i've noticed that just about every leaf on my mature boxwoods have a bite taken out of them. The shrub just recently had a flush of growth and every single new leaf was eaten up! I was out there yesterday, and I finally spotted the culprits...an infestation of tiny white worms... They look like small white inch worms with black stripes. I'm sorry I don't have a pic right now. Does anyone have a clue as to what these worms are and how to get rid of them? I appreciate the help.

My first attempt would be simply to blast them off with plain water from a hose. Simple, fast and no chemicals. If they come back, then other measures can be taken.
