We had tent caterpillars on a young crabapple and I went after them with a lighter and it did great so who can say

Reminds me of MMWR case studies of neuro damage in people trying to get rid of bedbugs with truly creative uses of pesticides: yeah, it's a bad idea, but consider that I *really* want these things gone!

When we had invasive tent caterpillars our neighbor used to put a torch on a long pole and go around burning them (he also kept bees that used to sting us)
