GYPSY MOTHS WANT TO DEVOUR YOUR FAVORITE DESTINATIONS:

The USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and key partners are working hard to stop the gypsy moths, working closely with the Gypsy Moth Slow the Spread Foundation (10 states located along the leading edge of gypsy moth populations).

Even if you’re not relocating your household this month, you may be planning a getaway for the long Memorial Day holiday weekend. A close inspection of your travel trailer, boat, and all outdoor toys is a must before leaving the driveway. It’s vital because a single gypsy moth egg mass hidden under an RV bumper could contain up to 1,000 individual eggs. That means your carefree holiday could have unintended and disastrous consequences—establishing a new infestation! If you find an egg mass, remove it right away.

If you’re planning to move, you’ll want to visit YourMoveGypsyMothFree.com for more information. It will help you to understand if you must complete an inspection checklist for your outdoor household items and take it with you during your move.

Protect your destinations from the destructive potential of the gypsy moth. Fortunately, a simple inspection is all it takes to stop this pest in its tracks.
Slow the Spread Foundation, USDA’s Forest Service & APHIS set up a region-wide strategy to stop the gypsy moth from spreading.
