REPORT OF THE AGENT FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF THE GYPSY AND BROWN TAIL MOTHS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
As Agent for the Suppression of the Gypsy and Brown Tail Moths I submit the following:
Gypsy moth conditions on street trees remain about the same with a slight increase in the woodlands. The Brown Tail moth in- festation is light, conditions remaining the same as last year .. Ex- tensive spraying was done during the summer months and cresoting on most of the streets in the late Fall. Some scouting was also done in the woodlands and a few small colonies were found which I would advise spraying.
