I am curious if anyone in Oregon ,or especially around Portland, has had any problems with bud worms or caterpillars? I have a grow going that I don't have much of access to, I don't get to get up close very often. I need this harvest badly, and am stressing about losing ANY of it to worms. I have not seen any signs so far. any experiences you can tell me about? Thanks!!

Do you see any moths or butterflys around your grow?
I'm down South and get caterpillars every year during veg. I soak my plants with Safer Caterpillar killer and it repels them for the rest of the season.
No bud worms here.
thanks for the responses. I haven't seen any butterflies/moths near the grow, but I don't get to spend much time in the area, so they could be there and I'm missing them. I realize that butterflies and moths are pretty much everywhere, but it seems like the large majority of growers on RIU that are having problems with worms are in Northern Cal or So Cal. I am wondering if moths and butterflies in general are more prevalent in Cali, possibly due to climate and/or native plants that they feed on(other than cannabis)? I didnt spray anything to deter worms throughout the grow, and feel it is too late to do so now. I keep finding myself wanting to chop her down early to avoid losing anything, but I also want her to be fully ripe. what to do? anyone in the Northwest having or have had problems?
