The Town of Oakville’s Forestry Section will be undertaking the first gypsy moth aerial spray this Thursday morning, subject to weather conditions.
A second spray will be necessary within 7-10 days of the first, weather permitting.
The town will spray 15 town woodlands with a safe bio-pesticide by low-flying helicopter to help protect our urban tree canopy from gypsy moth infestation.
Additional ground spraying may occur during the same period to target town trees adjacent to woodlands that have been identified as high-risk for gypsy moth presence.
Since the aerial spray is dependent on favourable weather conditions, the date of the spray may change.
In the event of a date change or cancellation, up-to-date notification will be posted on oakville.ca and on the town’s Facebook and Twitter accounts.
