What is causing webs on my box bushes?

Our Advice:

Inside the webs are box tree caterpillars, eating the leaves. If left untreated, they will strip the plant. Use a stick to break through the webbing and introduce Box Tree Caterpillar Killer (Dragonfli) or for bad attacks spray with Bug Clear Ultra (Evergreen), as soon as possible.
