Answer 2

Bag worms and they are probally in your conifer trees like junipers and spruces. You will need to get a pesticide from a lesco or home depot landscape store. break open one of the sacks if it is a black worm inside it is definatly bag worms.

Answer 3

Oooh, rats!  I know what those are, but I don't know their names!  They're awful to have on bushes and trees, they kill everything!  Man, sorry I can't think of the name.  They destroyed several trees next to our yard before someone was called to come in and kill them.
