They started out as caterpillars, so we put tape around the trees…that seemed to do the trick. But it’s now a month or two later and they’re literally swarming in my neighborhood. I don’t live in the suburbs, I live in an area surrounded by wooded areas, so at least I saved my trees with the tape. But what can I do to kill them? They look like they’re trying to find a place to nest in shaded areas on trash cans, fallen logs, etc. If this keeps up for several consecutive years, I believe that they can destroy the trees around my house. My neighbor bought a bug lamp, but the gypsy moths never really come out at night so it doesn’t do much. I’m really out of ideas.
