Spongy (Gypsy) Moth
Spongy Moth is one of the most destructive pests of hardwood trees in the Eastern United States. It is listed as one of the top 100 most destructive invasive species in the world. During outbreak years, nearly all broadleaf trees may be completely defoliated, caterpillars appear everywhere, and 'frass' (caterpillar droppings) appear to rain from the trees. Adult spongy moths are only seen in mid-summer when temperatures are above freezing. This species is known to infest trees in woodland or suburban areas.
Areas in Northern Adirondacks, Central and Finger Lakes Region in New York have experienced heavy defoliation the past two years. When populations are high there are an estimated 1 million caterpillars per acre.
Our treatment uses Foray 48B Btk — a naturally occurring bacterium that specifically targets caterpillars. It's highly selective, has minimal environmental impact, and is certified organic through the National Organic Program and OMRI.
