Wisconsin Department of Agriculture To Spray For Gypsy Moths
Saturday, May 2nd, 2020 -- 7:00 AM
Starting in May, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture will spray for gypsy moths in 18 western Wisconsin counties.Residents in the affected areas can expect loud, low-flying, small, yellow planes as early as 5 a.m. Aerial spraying will focus on where gypsy moth populations are low or beginning to build, in an attempt to slow them from moving further west. The effected counties include Bayfield, Buffalo, Burnett, Chippewa, Crawford, Douglas, Dunn, Grant, Green, Iowa, Lafayette, Polk, Richland, Rusk, Sawyer, Trempealeau, Vernon, and Washburn.
The agency is planning to start the treatments in southern Wisconsin in mid-May and end in the north by July.
