When and what do you spray for bagworms? Garden General
The best time to spray bagworms is in early summer, while they are still actively moving and feeding. Bagworms can be controlled with a wide variety of affordable chemicals such as permethrin, bifenthrin, and even neem oil if a more organic approach is desired. Those that are oil based tend to have a longer residual, however, multiple applications may be required in some infestations.

How do I plant wildflower seeds? Garden Seed Wildflowers
Planting wildflower seeds is best done in late fall or early spring, in areas of moderate to good sun exposure.
Lightly cultivate site, spread seed, then rake topsoil to insure good seed to soil contact.
Use care that seed is no more than 1/4” deep to promote best emergence.
Water thoroughly and keep consistently moist until wildflowers begin to grow.
Ideally dormant growth should be left standing over winter to shelter pollinators. If maintenance must be done, for proper reseeding, mow or roll plants after they have matured completely, allowing the clippings to remain on the seedbed.
Always use caution when applying herbicides, consider the possible effects on future and growing wildflowers.
