wtf is with the inch worms this year out of no where in the past 2 weeks?!??!?! I've been nuking the yard and plants with malathion (ortho concentrate) at 2 tsp per then at 1Tbs per and they are still eating shit... :) Been about 5 days with 3 sprayings...

And other ideas?

That's the wrong stuff to use. It's only effective on the adult stage, not the larval. You want BT. http://store.arbico-.../inch-worm.html The trichogramma wasps are an excellent long term control. Put them out several times per year until they establish a permanent colony in your neighborhood. They take care of the webworms that destroy trees too.
