How do you like your Gipsy Moth caterpillars this year ?

Seems like this year they're wild! Getting the trees in the property sprayed this week, I can't keep up with spraying the garage and the house with the regular spray from Home Depot...

this should have been a poll

I believe the result would be quite obvious...I'm just wondering if this year they're worse than any previous year, we moved to our house on the fall of 2017 and i don't remember last spring being this bad...

Gypsy moth or tent caterpillars? I'd bet tent

Nope, Gypsy...they don't make any silky tent, they just climb and chew the leaves off the trees...

Next off the Island.
Lightly sauteed with some glee and fresh elaphant garlic. Yummy!!

Serious note, get that sticky stuff that goes around the trunk of the trees. I used it and no more tent caterpillars for me.
