what if i already see webs? is it too late?
Not Necessarily. The time of year is the determining factor of whether or not it is too late to treat. however, If you have webs, they should be removed and properly disposed of, and we can assist in that process as well.
are all webs from the brown tail moth?
No. in fact, most webs that you see in trees are not the nest of the invasive brown tail moth. most are the nests of the fall web worm, which while unsightly, pose no health risks to humans. we can also treat for the fall web worm.

we are able to manually remove webs from anywhere in a tree by climbing or the use of a lift.
will just one brown tail moth prevention treatment take care of my tree forever?
No. our brown tail moth prevention treatment lasts approximately two years. therefore, it is recommended that host trees be put on our IPM program, allowing our arborist to keep a close eye on your trees, and retreat if necessary.
