Invasive Bugs

Gypsy Moth update May 2021:

To help control the Gypsy Moth caterpillars in Vaughan, the City has placed barrier bands on more than 300 trees and has removed approximately 2,000 egg masses from over 500 trees.

The City of Vaughan has a number of different invasive bugs and tree diseases that can affect the visual landscape of the City.

There are a variety of ways to treat most of these bugs. Additional resources can be found on the Government of Canada webpage.

If you have concerns about plants on your property, contact a plant care professional. For materials and supplies, contact your local nursery or garden supply store.
