2026 Spongy Moth Survey InformationIt's that time of year again, and our survey crews will be out visiting parcels all around Clare County performing an analysis of the spongy moth population densities beginning in September, and throughout October. The population of this invasive species appears to be in a state of decline, but it is imperative that we find any concentrations of nests so that we can have the appropriate areas aerially sprayed to keep the populations controlled to prevent widespread outbreaks and defoliation.
Please contact our office at (989) 539-6401 if you believe your property has active nests, as pictured: |
