If you could have seen me today you probably would have laughed. I looked like something from the movie Ghost Busters. You see, we have these beautiful Leyland Cypress trees lining both sides of our 2 acre property. Well, guess what, they have been invaded by an insect called a "bagworm". And to ...

At least some of them can be that way. In fact you can say some may be almost nauseateing!!! I visited one yesterday where the smell wasn't so bad as some but it looked like someone had taken revenge or just plain ole trashed the place. Now we're talking in a fairly decent neighborhood.
