Show Gypsy moths beware BOUNTIFUL The Cave Hollow Way neighborhood in Bountiful is one of the scheduled sites to be mass trapped as part of the gypsy moth eradication program, in addition to Knudsen's Corner and Olympus Cove in Salt Lake City. Trapping is a critical component of the eradication program pro-gram because it is a measuring device that is used to determine deter-mine the success of the project and to detect new infestations. infesta-tions. Urban areas with confirmed populations of moths will be mass-trapped in addition to being aerially sprayed according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Timirig of the first spray for eradication depends on insect and leaf development. The gypsy moth overwinters in the egg stage. Warmer weather in the spring results in egg hatch and caterpillar development. Weather conditions during the actual spraying operation are critical. Winds must be relatively light, and temperature and relative humidity must be within certain guidelines to ensure treatment success. |
