The cicadas do lots of damage to trees. They cut into the branches to lay their eggs. Has anyone tried a garden blower to blow off the trees during their laying cycle?

I was thinking of getting backpack blower for the job. Or is there something else you can recommend? (Not interested in netting) Trees are 15 - 25 feet tall. Not looking for perfect solution. Just cut back the damage some.

Here is cicada damage after 1 year of recovery.
