Moth Control
City moth control
In 2021, the City placed barrier bands on more than 1,200 trees and removed approximately 6,600 egg masses from over 900 trees. The City continued in 2022 to implement these control measures along with several other integrated pest management strategies. The moth populations collapsed in 2022 however the City will continue to monitor population levels.
