They are the most serious shade tree pest in the United States and they have been sighted in Rockford!      When their numbers are small they prefer oak trees, if populations of Gypsy Moths are large they can defoliate entire forests.      We have sprays both natural and chemical to control the Gypsy Moth larvae. Call us or the Winnebago County Extension office with any questions.
