These four Gypsy Moth maps are from the Pa Game Commission and PA DCNR , Bureau of Forestry. They depict the GM situation in PA going into Spring of 2022.
Tallman Aerial Spraying will be spraying privately owned forest land especially in Blair, Cambria, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton,and Lycoming counties in 2022.
There is still time in March to contract with us for timely spraying in May. It is very difficult to assure timely spraying if we don’t plan now.
P. S. Starting March 1 our government agencies will begin calling the Gypsy Moth only either it’s Taxonomic name ( Lymantria Dispar) or (Spongy Moth )following Canadian precedent. Why you ask? Because the Roma peoples of Europe object to their name being associated with an invasive species poorly thought of in the U. S. and Canada ??
This is nuts ! After 45 years, for me and my company , they will still be called Gypsy Moths and we will be spraying with safe insecticides that have labels that specify dose rates and instructions for Gypsy Moth.
