Stop Gypsy Moths Before They Get Started

Last year, Massachusetts experienced their largest outbreak of gypsy moth caterpillars since 1981. These destructive pests are responsible for the defoliation of trees across the state, not to mention the unsightly (and disgusting) droppings that blemish the exteriors of homes and offices, impacting property values in the region. Worse, gypsy moths’ body hairs can inflict some people with an itchy rash or respiratory problems.

The drought conditions of the last few years resulted in an infestation of gypsy moths in 2017, damaging 923,000 miles of forest and impacting the long-term health of trees and bushes. While it’s hoped that the infestation won’t be as serious this year, these pests will still be present.
