Cover the entire "tent" with a plastic garbage bag and the lack of air should do the trick. If you cut off the branch, carefully place it in a garbage bag, or you will find that you have more of these caterpillars.

There are three different kinds of tent caterpillars in the US. They are the forest tent caterpillar, the eastern tent caterpillar and the western tent caterpillar. All of these types can cause extensive damage to trees because they devour the leaves on them.
