What do I do to seize rid of these gypsy moths?
How do we get rid of them!? I'm afraid they'll shoot our trees, and at least one of these trees would fall right over our house if it died...
Answers: You are probably going to have to call any a pest control service to have the trees sprayed, or a landscaping service to hold the trees cared for.
In the mean time, hold on to the trees well watered and fertilized. This helps the trees overcome the crackdown of those catapillars.
We had issues like you are describing one year beside the Tomato Catapillars, (Sphynx Moth), and we had to spray an insecticide called Sevin adjectives over the plants. Needless to say a couple of days later, the plands be being fertilized by their own attackers.
The other side of the coin is this, if the Catapillars are already that big, they are just give or take a few to the point where they are going to change into the moth, so outright butchery them will probably be your best bet. But I would stick with calling the pest control company first, and letting them have a walk at it.
Good Luck!
They sell a product at garden centers that you spray and it causes the larva to wilt. It is natural and easy to use. Look in nursery or hardware store for it. Good luckl
