City of Mississauga Forestry staff in partnership with BioForest Technologies Inc., a company that specializes in developing pest management strategies and tools, will provide steps residents can take to treat Gypsy moths on their property demonstrations (may be outside, please dress for the weather) an update on the City’s proposed plan for managing this pest in 2014The European Gypsy moth is a pest found in many locations throughout North America. The caterpillar eats the leaves of trees which may damage the overall health of the tree. Gypsy moth is most commonly found on species such as maple, elm, oak, willow, birch, and aspen. Gypsy moth will always be present in the City of Mississauga. Treatment will not eliminate the Gypsy moth population but will reduce its numbers and lessen its impact on trees.

More Information: Pre-registration is not required. Participants will receive a free moth trap (one per household).
