Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 2229179, member: 2504"] Last year here in Norwich we had a few gypsy moth caterpillars around but it wasn't that bad. Then sometime last July I was on our lawn tractor mowing the lawn when I noticed there were tons of moths laying their eggs on our trees. I mentioned it to my wife, who immediately ran off to the local Agway to get some spray. It seemed that we would spend at least an hour every weekend into November spraying the eggs that we could see and reach. While we got rid of a boat load of them, there had to be more than enough that we could not see or reach. I'm thinking that the fungus might be starting to do its thing against the gyspy moth caterpillars. With the drier weather this week I was worried that the infestation we have around our garage would get really bad. However, so far it seems we have far fewer crawling around then we did last week. Hopefully all that wet weather got that fungus growing, and hopefully killing the caterpillars. [/QUOTE]
