Caterpillars of the Eastern tent and forest tent varieties and theyre in the millions clamping eager jaws on the leavts of almost every type of deciduous tree they can climb But dont despair They are not the villains they may seem The defoliation probably wont last all year and the trees arent killed Really theyre more nuisance than pest says Earl Bertinger resource techni cian for the ministry of natural resources at Midhurst They reduce growth but wont kill it Bertinger said the Eastern tent caterpillar is experiencing peak year in its mm 12 year cycle which explains the infestation The forest tent is not as severe as the other but theyre there too Both are about one and half inches long The Eastern tent has solid white line on its back and light orange stripes on its sides The forcst tcnt has white keyhole markings on its back Bcrtingcr said the caterpillars will bc out in force for about another three weeks then pupate The ministry has some advice for persons wishing to fight the voracious invader The Eastern tents form nests in the crotches of trees The nests can be removed and burned Burning of nests in the trees is not advised Chemicals that do the job include Sevin Methoxychlor Thuricide and the one recom mended by the ministry Dipel The problem might be alleviated for next year if owners examine trees on their pro er ty this fall and rid them of any small ban of eggs that they come across Bertinger said The caterpillar invasion is not expected to be as severe next year but how severe will depend on factors such as winter and spring weather conditions Last year was the first time people notic ed them Theyll probably notice them less next year It depends on the weather condi tions this winter to an extent how many eggs die and even more so in the spring cool damp spring is favorable to them Ber tinger explained The caterpillars have crawled just about everywhere in the county but apparently the Orillia area is the hardest hit 0n the positive side the stripped trees will probably have second foliage this year Ber linger said $30000 grant voted toward old tirehall By RICHARD DLNSTAN Examiner Staff Reporter ity council took the tiger by the
