A small area of
primarily agricultural land
on the road to Harrison Lake will be treated for gypsy moth
with a spray approved for
use on organic farms,
to protect the region’s forests, farms, orchards, and trees.
Treatment plans consist of up to four ground applications of Foray
48B on 25 hectares of land near Macpherson Road, between late April
and mid-June. The area was the epi-centre of last year’s outbreak
and treatment area. The spray will be applied by trained and
licensed technicians and vehicles.
For information on past treatments, view
the "History of Gypsy Moth in BC"
page.
