We get inchworms falling from the maple every spring. I wouldn't mind one or two but there's tons. It's gross, I hate them but I don't think there's any way to get rid of them.

you HAVE to have your trees sprayed or they will eat every tree and plant. treatment costs vary from 100 -200. you also have to spray more than once (early spring, late spring, early summer, late summer).
