    Going to a big growing issue Marc. Think it's now more about control & containment in areas where the nests are known and proactive management where it's not yet established. Missed the boat on eradication I think .

    been a while but we're back on the trapping program with the FC Nests are appearing closer to our site than before ! Males Oak Processionary Moths are flying for the next 6 weeks, so traps to be checked & reset weekly over that period. As opposed to installing at between 5 & 10m (as in the past) study has now shown that traps are better at attracting the male moth between 10 & 15m a blessing that we now have srt .
