Caterpillar control in Hungary continues
Frigyes Nagy Veszprém county department leader at Hungarian Forest Service says systematic spaying has been started as a move of protection against gypsy moth in the area. The target spots may slightly change due to weather conditions and leaf–growth.
No protection can be done, however, in some areas where for the continual caterpillar chew trees are unable to bring shoots.

The chemical is spayed on leaf areas and their bite results in gypsy moth decline. The compound provides long-term protection against the defoliator for it contains agents affecting chitin synthesis. These agents are harmless for human organism, mammals, birds, fish and bees, they do not deteriorate water and are not registered toxic.
Local communities have preliminary information on the date of aerial spraying.
