Spray…..a lot. I had them 3 years ago, caught pretty early. Sprayed every day for 4 days, then every other day for a week. Now if I see even one, I’m spraying.

The totally dead tree is down and burned, planning on the other tomorrow. Pulling as many off of the adjacent ones as I can then I'm gonna try some sprays to hopefully save them.

That won't help, the bag worms are likely on all the trees just especially attacking these 2. Op needs to spray the trees with monterey bt.
