I have sprayed with a store bought spray BUT they are out of control. Our home is surrounded by trees (elms) and I run a daycare they are all over kiddo's play structures and toys as well. Please help, i have also talked to neighbours who are having this problem.

It's extremely bad in the Cty Rd 40 area. I have several trees/shrubs I don't think will survive this year. The spruce trees are crawling with the rotten things and it looks like autumn in the forested area behind me with no leaves left in the canopy.

Our surrounding area is totally infested and has defoliaged oak, maple, birch, elm, shrubs, etc. Not to mention crawling on our house when travelling.

Absolutely out of control lost thousands of dollars in landscape trees Not to mention hundreds of mature oaks and pine. Something needs to be done ASAP for next season now. These mature trees cannot withstand this abuse for another season or they will be gone forever

We have literally millions of these caterpillars and they are eating all our oak tree leaves and other trees also. We are unable to sit outside anywhere because they are propelling down from the trees and blowing in the breeze. Something must be done about this now please

This is a real true problem that our township needs to support and deal with.

We are over whelmed with caterpillars, we can't sit outside, they are everywhere. our kids go outside to play in come in with itchy welts all over them from the caterpillars landing and crawling all over them. Our massive oak trees have no leaves left. We have tried everything that's been suggested but we are just overwhelmed.
