several proposals to initiate
a complete gypsy moth
control program in areas
where gypsy moth eggs have
been discovered but still far
removed from those areas
generally recognized as
having a heavy, well
established infestation of the
voracious leaf-eating pest.
A complete program
progresses in three steps
beginning with the ap
plication of pesticides. This
is followed up with use of
Disparlue, a sex attractant,
which confuses the male
moth and discourages
mating. The final step is the
introduction of all known
parasites that feed on gypsy
moth eggs, larvae and
pupae.
Successful compact
projects in the past included
a four-state survey to
determine the potential of
gypsy moths to be spread
throughout the nation in
recreational vehicles and the
checking of a golden
nematode outbreak in
Delaware The golden
nematode is a plant parasite
that infests potatoes
