| Gypsy
Moths in your backyard can be a real nuisance. At
high populations, the caterpillars seem to be everywhere.
Their feeding stresses and may kill valuable trees.
You will not get rid of every gypsy moth in your yard, but
you can take some simple steps to cut their numbers.
Twenty counties in eastern Wisconsin are under quarantine,
meaning that it is illegal to carry items out of an area if
they harbor gypsy moths. Get in the habit of checking
your outdoor equipment for hitch hiking moths.
For more
information, or if you think you have found a gypsy moth,
call your local forester, county agent, agricultural agent,
or check the following web sites.
