JCC How to repel/kill Gypsy Moths?

So, Rhode Island (and I think a lot of states on the East Coast) currently has a huge Gypsy Moth problem.

The caterpillars were bad enough over the last month or so, and half of the leaves on the trees around my backyard are all eaten off.

But now they have taken flight.





It's impossible to be outside, in the sun, without 3 or 4 Gypsy Moths going after you. In daytime, when they're supposed to be nocturnal. It's even worse in the city park.

At night last night there were about 40 that flew into our porch, and we found what must have been 200 cover the wall by our front door. And they're eating all the flowers now too, in additional to the leaves.


Anyone know how to repel or kill them?

 

Here you go

 

nature has decided to replace you with moths. dont fight it

 

Find yourself a Godzilla, These can normally be found near to the coast of Japan.

Godzilla should be able to take care of any Moth problems.



Or
Use Holy Water

 

Tell your neighbors to lock up their dogs. I have it on good authority that they're in danger from anything Gypsy related.

 

When I googled it earlier I only found
1. how to catch them when they're still caterpillars, if you have trees in your yard ( we don't)
2. use insectides (but they would need to be used on the whole state at this point)

 

Maybe try this?:




(and Yes, I have just been looking at Godzilla memes)

 

I thought this was a certain jccer's thread about gypsies at first glance.

 

ghost's antiziganism is well-documented at this point

 

One word....














NAPALM!

 

just be yourself

 

Use a giant infographic

 

honestly im not sure which jcer you're referring to. aren't, like, all of the european jcers unapologetic in their antiziganism?

The best I could find after a search was this paper from a ct.gov site:
http://www.ct.gov/caes/lib/caes/doc...ets/entomology/gypsy_moth_fact_sheet_2015.pdf

At the end it has a chart that lists insecticides (but just by chemical ingredient) that can be used. However most of them only apply to the larvae. And the paper also cautions the following:

But on the up side it sounds like they won't live long.

 

i found a kazakh.gov page that recommends throwing a jew down the village well

 

First you must uncover the dread scrolls of Bel'al'athoth - their location cannot be spoken or written by mortal men, and thus the mere acquisition thereof will prove your worth to Aiueb Gnshal, the Eyes Between Worlds, the Favorer of Чингис хаан. This favor, once gained, will enable you to use the dread scrolls - they will reveal their bad medicine upon the mountain with no name, hidden spire of the universe, deep in the Himalayas. From these secrets, should you not go mad, the location of the Knife of Orryx - yes! Orryx, the Brilliant Flame! That Which Blinds the Base! Iä! Iä! - will be bestowed in the deep recesses of your unconscious. Offer then the thrice damned seventh goat son of the seventh goat son of a she-goat that speaks in backwards riddles upon the altar, and in your dreams three month later will all be revealed.

Since the knife is bright, it can attract the moths, so you can put it in a simple bug trap and there you go.

 

Ghost, I hope this will help:



Seriously though: get a bug zapper and sticky strips.

edit: Oh and read Mothcraft as Ramza recommends.

 

Douse yourself and all your clothes in gasoline before venturing outside. Much like bees, smoke has a calming effect on Gypsy Moths, so you could also try walking around with a lit cigarette or candle.

 

ladies and gentlemen we have all just witnessed a depraved heart murder. you are all accomplices
