OPM advaning in my Borough

[Craig F-J]

Brown Tail Moth is UK wide on Roseacea, especially Crataegus.

 

The over use of acronyms may be a predominently Southern problem, though

 

 

 

 

lol, it does read that way!!

 

I'll try again...

 

Is OPM still a southern problem. Have there been any reports of it spreading north, and if so does anyone know just how far it may have reached?

Sorry, I keep on forgetting there's a whole, big world outside of London .]

 

So it's not just a myth then !

I was in a place called Cirencester earlier today, though it was just one of the Fringe London Boroughs just west of Hounslow

Currently confined to three West London Boroughs,

We (the Corporation of London) have been pheramone trapping for them since June 07 up in North London.

 

Just about to receive a new batch of traps from Forest Research to instigate this years six week trapping program.

One of our neighbouring Boroughs (Brent) has them.

They're on the March and getting closer each year
