Gypsy Moth Report
Data collected during the 2018 risk
assessment surveys indicate that
gypsy moth populations within Shaler
Township remain low. The average egg
mass density for the entire managed
area of Shaler Township remains at
non-detectable levels for the second
consecutive year. no defoliation, tree
mortality, or nuisance associated with
caterpillars and their excrement was
observed or reported.
it is important to remember that gypsy
moth is a cyclic pest and cannot be
eradicated. in the past, multiple years
of low populations have preceded years
of high and even outbreak levels. a
continuation of the risk assessment and
consultation program is recommended.
