THE LAKESHORE REPORT Genista Caterpillar Genista caterpillars can often be seen on Mountain Laurel, but may also be found on crape myrtle and honeysuckle. These caterpillars can grow up to one inch in length and are yellowishgreen with small black and white dots along their body. They have sporadic hairs protruding along the body, but are not covered densely.

Genista caterpillars create and feed within webbing similar to webworms. The caterpillars have chewing mouthparts and cause defoliation of the plant. Eggs are laid in overlapping clusters on the underside of leaves. Pupation occurs in a small, white silken cocoon that is attached to plants or structures. There are two generations per year.

Management of outbreaks can be rather simple. If plant size and number of caterpillars allows, then hand-picking or vacuuming caterpillars can be a good method of control.

Removed caterpillars can either be smashed or dropped in a bucket of soapy water. Other options may include pesticides with active ingredients such as insecticidal soap, horticultural oils, pyrethrum, spinosad, or Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki, also known as Bt. Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki specifically targets caterpillars, but does not distinguish between “good” and

“bad” caterpillars, so be careful where you apply it and also be aware of drift that may occur. When using Bt or spinosad, good coverage of the plant foliage is essential since caterpillars need to consume a lethal dose. There are also numerous synthetic (Continued on Page 5)

Early Spring Means Early Spring Cleaning We all love spring; it is that time of the year when we say bye to a chilly season and hello to a warm one. However, the one thing that we soon realize is the spring cleaning comes with the season. Every year and without fail, we are reminded of the level of neglect we show to our homes. Yes, winters are dark, dreary, and cold with short days that just drain the energy out of us. So my suggestion is to read these spring cleaning tips and give your house a good clean. It is meant to bring back that freshness and sparkle into the home as you and your family look forward to a great summer.

Include Your Family-Spring cleaning should be a family activity where everyone gets to chip in and have a vital part to play. For it to b`e done right, then you need to know what to do, and this calls for a reliable house cleaning plan and having several important tips that can make the job easy.

Spring Cleanup – Make Your Plans Giving your home a spring cleanup entails a lot of work; you have to clean it top to bottom to ensure all the dirt and dust is gone. As mentioned earlier, it is important to put your house in order and have a plan of attack. So plan how it will go, room by room.

Getting Rid Of Clutter-A surprising thing that dawns on us almost every year as spring arrives is the amount of clutter we have in our homes.

It is thus necessary not only to clean but to also organize, and work at getting rid of clutter. You will have to put away what you are not using and be brutal about getting rid of things that you no longer use. Remember the family should be involved so that everyone identifies the items that are of little or no use.

Work Room by Room-When it comes to spring cleaning, it is easy to get carried away and start tackling several areas in the house at once. Doing this seldom works and only turns the spring cleanup into a tedious affair. The right approach to cleaning your house is to take things one step at a time option to work from one room to the next starting with the kitchen followed by the bathroom and then the family room, for example. Since you have the family in on the spring cleaning, they can be handling other sections of the house such as their bedrooms, the attic, balcony, or patio. Have each person finish their job or room before starting a new project. These spring cleaning tips are meant to encourage you to make your plan and take action. Cleaning and getting rid of clutter will make your place sparkle and shine, lifting your mood and making your dwelling much easier to live in.
