Many plant pests now active
FLEMINGTON, N.J. - There
are several currently active plant
pests to be on the look, out for in
Hunterdon County.
Gypsy moth caterpillars are on
schedule. They are a major pest of
oak trees but feed on a variety of
other plants including apple,
hawthorne, willow, cherry, maple,
and larch.
Eastern tent caterpillars are
also active now. Their favorite
foods are cherry, apple and
crabapple.
Sawfly larvae are at work on
pines, especially, Scots, and
mugho pines. These “cater
pillars,” greenish with dark heads,
can seriously defoliate evergreens.
Last year, birch leaf miner
populations were high throughout
the state. These larvae, which can
cause such severe damage to birch
foliage that trees appear com
pletely brown, should be controlled
now.
Douglas firs may be infested
with woolly aphid, tiny white
“fluffy” looking insects which feed
by sucking sap from needles
causing them to become yellow
and distorted.
Lace bugs are common pests on
Rhododendron species and on
Japanese andromeda. The damage
appears as yellow brownish
“fading” of foliage which, on close
examination, turns out to be finely
stipled discoloration of the leaves.
The undersides of the leaves show

larger brown sticky spots if this
damage is due to lacebugs.
Holly leafminers are about to
emerge from leaves to begin
laying eggs. If old holly leaves
show evidence of this pest (ser
pentine lines in the leaf) it’s time to
prevent damage to the new
growth.
Spider mites are active now on
Norway and blue spruce varieties.
“Fading” of needles may indicate
a heavy mite infestation and very
close examination of the foliage
may reveal these minute spider
like insects at work.
A variety of scale insects infest

Gleaner is an Allis-Chalmers trademark
many plants and because they are
not obviously insects, but appear
as bumps on branches, twigs and
leaves, they may go unnoticed
until the population has built up
over several years. Black “sooty”
mold covering branches and
leaves is an obvious sign of a
possible scale problem.
All of these insect pests can be
controlled if necessary with proper
and timely applications of
pesticides. Contact the Extension
Service for control recom
mendations and for a copy of
“Tree, Shrub and Flower Pest
Control for the *’ icowner.”
