tree-defoliating pest to their
favorite campgrounds and parks
by having NAFCA members
thoroughly inspect their camping
rigs before leaving on out-of-state
trips.
All inspections by the specially
trained NAFCA inspectors are
free. Camper owners should call
locally publicized telephone
numbers to arrange an ap
pointment for the gypsy moth
inspection. Inspections will be
available from now through
Labor Day
Officials of USDA’s Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) have been training
groups of NAFCA inspectors
since March. These NAFCA
inspectors know how to find all
stages of the gypsy moth on all
types of camping rigs and
equipment. When insects are
found, they are properly removed
and destroyed.
The cooperative inspection
program is based on a USDA
survey conducted during the
summer of 1972. It showed that
camping vehicles parked in the
infested Northeast often become
as infested as the trees
surrounding the parking site.
Since most campers are unaware
that they are carrying gypsy
moths, they can easily start a
new gypsy moth infestation as
they camp in uninfested areas
throughout the country.
Although NAFCA is inspecting
camping vehicles for residents of
the Northeast U.S., all other
campers who travel and camp in
New England, New York, eastern
Pennsylvania and New Jersey
are urged to give their own
camping vehicles a thorough
check for gypsy moths before
leaving these infested areas.
Camper undercarriages, wheel
wells and the depressions of
cracks and crevices may contain
gypsy moth- pupae (cocoons) or
buff-colored egg masses. All
forms of the insect should be

scraped off and crushed, APHIS
officials urged.
The gypsy moth was brought
into this country m 1869 for
scientific experiments, but ac
cidentally escaped. The pests
annually strip thousands of acres
of trees in forests, homes, parks
and recreational areas. During
the summer of 1972, about 1.3
million acres were denuded.
Successive severe strippings
may eventually kill most trees
although evergreens may die
after one complete defoliation.
Eleven northeastern states are
affected by gypsy moth-Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware
and Maryland.
