Caterpillar

Inhabiting our planet for 300 million years.

HOSTS: These insects love to feed and nest on Sugar maple, birch, oak, aspen etc.

EVIDENCE: Shiny brown egg masses are present from July until early spring of the following year. They differ from those of eastern tent caterpillar in having square edges, and they completely encircle the twigs of host trees. Larvae, which are present in early spring, have distinctive keyhole-shaped white spots on the middle of the back of each segment.

Defoliation of all except larger veins and petioles of the leaf occurs in May and June. The adult moths appear in July.

The application of commercially registered insecticide Spray to exterminate Caterpillars.

First and foremost, we listen to your concerns and questions. Next, we inspect the structure and spaces thoroughly and devise a strategy that commonly involve deploying of commercially registered pesticides to exterminate Caterpillars.

Insecticide Spray: To exterminate Caterpillars successfully we employ contact based insecticide spray. These pesticides are commercially registered with the ministry of the environment, and can only be deployed by a licensed exterminator.

The areas of infestation must be cleared out of litter and debris and cleaned before the technician arrives for the application. All residents and pets must vacate for the duration of treatment plus two hours before returning. The insecticide spray is applied in key areas where the Caterpillars may nest or travel in search for food. Typically, it takes 3 to 5 weeks for entire population of Caterpillars to die off.

Expected Results:

When the Caterpillars comes into contact with the treated surfaces, the pest gets the insecticide on parts of its body, as well, gradually the pesticide reaches into and invades the pest’s nesting environment. The Caterpillars expire after some time having been affected by the presence of the active ingredient of the insecticide in the Caterpillars’s physiology.
