  1. Protection of plants: Bagworms can cause significant damage to trees, shrubs, and other plants by feeding on foliage. Bagworm control can prevent or eliminate infestations, protecting plants from damage.
  2. Maintenance of landscape: Bagworms can affect the appearance of trees, shrubs, and other plants, when present in large numbers, they can make the landscape look unsightly. Bagworm control can help maintain the appearance of the landscape by eliminating these pests.
  3. Cost-effective: In the long run, investing in bagworm control can be more cost-effective than paying for expensive tree or shrub replacement caused by bagworm infestations.
  4. Preventing further damage: Bagworms can build their cocoons on trees and shrubs that are next to the infested one, by controlling the population of bagworms, homeowners can prevent them from spreading to other plants on the property.
