tree injection and gypsy moths

jeffrohde

I am from the Conashough Farms Homeowners Association in Pike County PA. We are into our 4th year of devestating Gypsy Moth caterpiller infestation. Even with BT spraying we are getting clobbered. Along with Pike COunty COnservation Dept. we are looking for ways to fight back. We have sponsored a tree injection training of tree professionals, by a rep from Mauget. Did we pick the correct tree injection system? I am reading a lot about Arborjet. Also any advice? Is this method safe to use? Can you harm trees using it? How much training is required before letting these newly "certified" people out into the field?

Afternoon,
"Have you tried utilizing a soil drench?" In my limited experience injection tends appears to creat some secondary problems, as does the soil drench.
