Due to the low number of
gypsy moth egg masses found and the lack of submissions by
county and agency cooperators, the PA Department
of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Division of
Forest Pest Management
will not be conducting a gypsy moth suppression program
for Pike County in the spring of 2011. DCNR will
continue to monitor gypsy moth defoliation and populations
in 2011 to determine if populations reach thresholds to
implement treatment in 2012.
