What can I do if I have a heavy infestation of gypsy moths?

How can I manage gypsy moth populations around my yard?
Small, isolated populations of gypsy moths can be managed by nonsided sticky tape, or wrapping a piece of burlap cloth around the trunk. The double stick tape will preventof the caterpillars. Burlap cloths can also be tied around the tree trunk toprovide shelter for the caterpillars as they migrate up and down the tree. Theburlap cloths can then be removed daily to kill the caterpillars.
You can aunder tree limbs and trunks, wood piles,recreational equipment anduse a tool like a paint scraper to removecrushed, simply picking the egg masses off and dropping them on the groundwill not kill them. Wear gloves when handling the egg masses because theyare covered with hairs which may cause an allergic reaction.
Healthyfertilizing, watering and mulching trees and shrubs that have been fed uponby gypsy moths may help with the plants’ recovery.
Commercially available attractants are also available forone seen on the left. These attractants include bait that mimics the chemicalsor “pheromones” released by the female moths. The flightless femalesrelease pheromones to attract male moths to fertilize the female’s eggs.These traps cocannot escape. By reducing the population of male gypsy moths, less viableeggs should be available for the following year.
