Spongy moth formerly known as Gypsy Moth
April 5, 2022Arborjet | Ecologel, a leader in plant health care and water conservation technology, urges residents and municipalities to treat for one of New England’s oldest and most persistent insect pests, the spongy moth, formerly known as Gypsy Moth. Originally introduced to the United States in the 1800s to help manufacture silk, it was accidently released into the wild and has since become established, causing extensive foliar damage to a diverse array of deciduous trees.

"I’ve been injecting a 70“ ash tree on the campus of Miami University since 2014. It has typically taken three long mornings to coax the needed volume of TREE-äge® into this tree. Using R10 for the first time, the entire treatment for 2020 was completed in 2.5 hours, in mid-August! R10 is revolutionary for my business - reading about R10 is one thing, an experience such as this quite another. I’ve instantly become a convert.”
