I am under attack from hairy caterpillars

Tweet

There is a drumstic tree in the adjacent compound and now is the season for these moths to eat the drumstick leaves, I guess. Last 15 days or so the place is crawling with hairy, furry caterpillars who are descending from the trees like spiders shimmying down their self made glue like thread and getting into foot wear , clothes and furniture. The resourceful insects are producing their own thread like spiders and are decsending from trees like paratroopers slither down from choppers into enemy territory. I guess these caterpillars frenzy-feed and transform into ugly moths. If their fur touches the skin, you just about had it. Itching begins and spreads rapidly as you scartch furiously. sometimes medicine is the only answer to alleviate the suffering. The entire family is suffering as we come into contact with these itchy customers. I tell you, it's not a good experience at all.
