Winter Moth Treatment
Dr. Robert Childs, State entomologist, is projecting that the 2009 winter moth population will be the heaviest year yet. This is due to the late fall warm period which allowed for increased moth activity, mating and subsequent egg production.

Tree Specialists treats Winter Moth with a foliar application using one of two different products, Conserve and Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel). Both products are derived from naturally occurring soil bacteria and are considered the best environmentally sensitive management tools for this pest.

If you have any questions about this pest or our treatments, please call the office to speak with our Certified Arborists.
