After the army worms last year I’m a little nervous.

That what I was thinking. Otherwise known at web worms? Someone correct me if I’m wrong. I don’t like using pesticides if I can help it but web worms can make your trees look terrible. I’m sure there is a non toxic option like dish soap or somethingLooks like an Eastern Tent Caterpillar

Oh great, I hate those things. We had a bunch of those last year. They were all down our road. Our windshield would be covered by the time we got home.
Kill them all. They will defoliate a tree in a short time. We rip their little terrorist tents apart and spray them with Sevin. I step on every single one. It's best to get them when they are all hanging out in the big top when they're small tho.

The safest and most effective method of what to do about webworms is as follows: Prune the tree in the spring and spray with a lime-sulfur and dormant oil spray. As buds begin to break, follow up your webworm treatment by spraying Sevin or Malathion and repeat in 10 days.
Grandpa always used dish detergent and water --- said it caused them to s*** their brains outs.
Well, I think I found the hive or whatever a mess of these little bastiches are.
