- In Dhule district of Maharashtra, the control of red hairy caterpillar was done by understanding the life cycle of the caterpillar and attacking it at all stages, i.e., eggs, larvae and adult.
- The farmers came up with the idea that moths could be killed by hanging by hanging a broad mouthed vessel filled with water and a little kerosene near electric lights. They also collected and burnt all the egg laden leaves.
- iAdult caterpillars were physically picked from the roots of the seedlings and destroyed by burning.
