KAMARES - PROCESSIONARY CATERPILLARS

 


KAMARES - PROCESSIONARY CATERPILLARS


Tall pine trees grace many properties in Kamares. It is distressing to see them cloaked in the white nests of processionary caterpillars that feed on the needles and make the trees vulnerable to other pests and diseases. The caterpillars’ hairs can cause painful skin, eye and throat irritations to people and animals. Many nests are in high branches and can only be removed via an aerial work platform (aka cherry picker). Would any residents be interested in sharing the costs of hiring a company to remove our nests? Contact Dana on 97 602 881, edwards.dana@gmail.com.


Thanks to KVHA for this.
