Caterpillar & Inchworm Alert on Long Island!

We’re seeing a surge in feeding damage on ornamental trees across the area—especially from our old pal Spongy moth (fka Gypsy moth) larvae and various inchworms/cankerworms (aka inchworms, loopers). These pests strip leaves from the top down, causing thinning crowns and stress to younger or already-weakened trees.

While mature trees usually recover, the mess—sticky droppings and falling caterpillars—can quickly ruin your summer spaces and make a mess of parked cars.

Protect your landscape the organic way.
