Bowmanville, April 12. 1978 9 T ent Caterpillar Pro blems Tne torest tent caterpillar, which really doesn't spin webs despite its name, is often confused with the eastern tent caterpillar which does spin a tent, but teeis, primarily on fruit trees in the southernmost sections of Ontario. Forest tent caterpillars perfer to dine out on birch and poplar, but will attack other hardwoods and even vegetable gardens if they're hard up. Our Reg. Price S $1.78 .

Forest tent caterpillars aren't expected to be a problem in the southern Georgian Bay-Muskoka area this summer, but could cause headaches north of Parry Sound and east of Peter- bôrough., But unless weather condi- tions interfere, the infestation of the past five years will die out this summer, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources.- "We expect 1978 will be the last year in this particular cycle of caterpillar infestation for any serious problems in southern Ontario," said Dr. Rod Carrow, provincial forest pest control supervisor. He said last summer's hard-hit areas will stili have pockets of heavy bug infesta- tion, but that generally the problem will be much less severe. Dr. Carrow's advice to private lafidowners in areas of predicted 'high caterpillar- numbers this summer:. begin daily tree inspections during the sunshine hours in early May, and if control seems necessary, organize with neighbors to have your entire area commercially sprayed with an environmentally- harmless insecticide, such as Dipel or Thuricide. Information about sprays, local sources and how to contact commercial sprayers is available from district ministry offices.1 The ministry will treat 1,200 acres of Crown land at the Leslie M. Frost Natural Resources Centre near Dorset and Grundy Lake, Mikisew and Six Mile Lake provincial parks this summer, but has no plans to spray private property. "We're using a commer- cially - available bacterial insecticide exclusively - no chemicals", said Dr. Carrow. "It works well and has no harmful effects on the, en- vironment. We'd be happy to advise anyone concerned about the potèntial pest." Wile- sprayi-ng of- private property is the responsibility of the landowner, Dr. Carrow said the ministry is anxious to provide information and help, advise landowners on the need to spray and help get in touch with reliable local commercial sprayers. "Beginning -the lirst week in- May, landowners should take some of the leaves which are flushing and' look for tiny newy-atched caterp'illars which are one-quarter .ta one-haîf inch long, black and somewhat. hairy," he said. Dr. Carrow said the best time to look is in the warmn periods during the day when the caterpillars are feeding on the new leaves. "If they're thêre, you'll see them without any problem." If large numbers are spotted, and if praperty ôwners want to control the infestation, they can contact a commercial sprayer directly. For best results, owners of adjoining properties should organize and have all their properties sprayed at the same time. This reducescosts and lessens the chance of a re-invasion of insects from surrounding areas in mid- June, when the caterpillars start to migrate. Dr. Carrow said landowners shouldn't wait past June 7 to do something. "If you don't do something before then, it'll be too late for a spray to be effective." Ordrnarily, the caterpillars are a nuisance, not a threat to healthy trees. Under normal conditions, trees that are stripped of leaves will put ýout a new crop in four to six weeks. Caterpillar invasions are usually accompanied by swarms,; of large flues which feed n the caterpillars aqnd ----------- - - - - - 1
