Managing the spongy moth population in Vaughan
City provides step-by-step
control methods for the spring
Have you checked the trees on your property for brown- and
orange-coloured egg masses? In May, you may start to see some of these egg
masses hatch into caterpillars. These insects are called spongy moths, formerly
known as LDD or gypsy moths, an invasive species not
native to Ontario. City of Vaughan staff continue working to manage the spongy
moth population in the community – and you can help!
