Treatment of oak trees for Oak Processionary Moth control
Forestry Commission guidance is that oak trees within 50m of an infestation removed in 2023 should be treated to control any larvae that have hatched this spring. Treatment is undertaken once the leaves have emerged and provided the larvae with food. 2 treatments, 10 days apart, are undertaken with a naturally- occurring bacteria. This does not affect other wildlife.
Caterpillars of the oak processionary moth (OPM) are a pest which can be a hazard to the health of oak trees, people and animals in this area.
