Browntail Moth Control At Elliott Pest Control, LLC

We Provide Experience, Knowledge, Skill, And Dependability When You’re In Need Of Effective Browntail Moth Control

Elliott Pest Control decided to take on browntail moth control due to the increasing problems many people in Western Maine were encountering, like the destruction of valued trees and plants and the health concerns caused by these nuisance moths.

The browntail moth caterpillar feeds on numerous plants, but they often feed on Maine’s more familiar wild apple trees, oak trees, crabapple trees, and birch trees. Our browntail moth control specialist has also seen these caterpillars gobble down rose bushes after being knocked off a tree and onto the roses. Our browntail moth control expert has seen trees stripped bare in some Maine areas when these nuisance insects have managed to live through the winter on the tree.

A significant issue related to the health of humans is the browntail moth throughout most of its life and especially during its caterpillar phase, has protective, barbed hairs which break off and, for many individuals, cause skin rashes, headaches, and also breathing complications. Luckily, the hairs on the adult browntail moths are not toxic, so those hairs do not cause skin rashes or any other health issues. But, these health issues are another reason we felt compelled to take on browntail moth control in Western Maine.

How Our Browntail Moth Control Team Can Eradicate Browntail Moths

Elliott Pest Control’s brown moth control team has strategies to eradicate the brown tail moth if found on your property and has methods designed to stop the problem from starting in the first place. We can inject trees before the budding process begins with a chemical that moves into the leaves but does not harm the tree or any other wildlife that nibbles on the leaves other than browntail moths who will soon die after a feeding. This method has some limitations if you live close to a water source.

Our browntail moth control technician can also spray trees before leaves open to control BTM caterpillars. Another option is an eco-friendly organic spray that is deadly to browntail caterpillars but will not harm mammals, birds, and other valuable insects.
