Winter Moth Caterpillars 

An outbreak of winter moth caterpillars is expected to continued defoliating our deciduous trees this coming spring.  Moths may be seen during November and December.  Female Moths will lay eggs that hatch early in the spring causing severe damage to trees.

ArborCare uses only non-toxic products for control of these pests.  Call now for a quote for spring 2008 !!!
