Gypsy Moths are a well-known problem for hardwood trees. Every year, moth pest is defoliating a million or more trees.

A tree infested with moths is in danger itself and poses a potential threat to the surroundings. When the infestation is severe, they will strip leaves of the entire tree in a few days. Of course, healthy and vital trees can survive the first attack of a moth. But they will be susceptible to another disease, boring insect, or pest attack. So, checking and treating the voracious larvae of these moths are crucial.

About Moths

Gypsy moths, though small in size, have a ferocious appetite. They have a strong ability to reproduce. Being quick in migrating, they will travel away from the host trees. Thus, they will find their way into the most residential neighborhoods.

Very few of you would know that the gypsy moth was originally a breeding experiment that went wrong in the USA. They found plenty of trees to feed on outside the lab. Since then, gypsy moths have created havoc across the USA.

The larvae of moths called Caterpillars feed on the trees. The spring feeding will occur for 2-3 months only. However, the impact of their feeding can be long-lasting. Gypsy moths will not directly deteriorate tree health. The loss of leaves will invite other tree health problems indirectly. So, an all-round tree health assessment & management is crucial.

The larvae will turn to adult moths in a year and lay new brood eggs. This will continue the growth of infestation in exotic places as well. The foraging will cause potential damage next year, and hence effective moth pest control treatment is crucial.
