Exterminating Puss Caterpillars: First, protect yourself and others. On discovering a puss caterpillar infestation, insure that you, your family, and others stay out of the area to avoid getting stung, until you are properly dressed and have appropriate treatment equipment with you.

Puss caterpillars may drop out of trees, unnoticed, onto clothing. A puss caterpillar down a blouse or tee-shirt always ends badly. Enter infested areas wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a shirt or blouse buttoned at the neck, and heavy rubber gloves. Inspect clothing often; remove caterpillars from your clothing with a gloved hand, placing them in a container of soapy water.

These caterpillars, at maturity, leave their feeding places in trees and shrubs to find another place to spin a cocoon. In their travels they may be found anywhere in the infested area. Do not pick up anything, lean against anything, or sit down on anything without first inspecting every surface of that thing to insure no caterpillars are there. NEXT PAGE.
