Sterile Gypsy
Moths Released
To Curb Pest
HARRISBURG—SteriIe male
gypsy moths are now being re
leased by the Pennsylvania and
the U.S. Departments of Agri
culture in a continued effort
to curb the destructive pest.
Nearly 40,000 male moths,
sterilized by radioactive ma
terials, are presently being re
leased in Bedminster, Spring
field and Tinicum townships in
Bucks County and in Williams
Township in Northampton
County. An additional 16,000
will be released later this
month in sections of Carbon,
Luzerne, Pike and Wayne
counties.
The sterile males will mate
with female moths which will
then produce infertile eggs.
The use of sterile moths is a
“back up” measure used in
conjunction with insecticides,
according to Henry F. Nixon,
director of the agriculture’s
Division of Plant Control.
He said that the areas where
the sterile moths are being re
leased were sprayed with an
insecticide two months ago
when gypsy moth eggs began
