lar is readily recognizable by the twin red dots on either side of its back that travel the length of the caterpillar. By early July, the insect is in its pupid stage, and by midJuly, the gypsy moth assumes its white-colored moth adult status.
Various treatment strategies to deal with the gypsy moth infestation problem are being implemented by the state on a 50/50 cost share basis. The treatments prescribed for lowdensity areas of moth infestation include traps, burlap bands, lure tapes, and parasites which prey on the moth. As for high-density areas of infestation, spraying of pesticides, either from the air or the ground, has been recommended. The pesticides involved have been thoroughly researched and tested for possible harmful side effects to animals, crops and humans. The spraying program is specifically voluntary, as any landowner with property located within the designated aerial spraying areas may opt out of the spraying of his land.
Any inquiries involving the gypsy moth program being implemented in your area should be addressed to the gypsy moth coordinator of your local governing body.
