This double-ladder arrangement was used in scouting valuable conifers for gypsy moth infestation on the J.B. Duke Estate during the period 1921 through 1932. This ladder arrangement was used when the growth was too tall for the tripod ladder arrangement and in scouting dense stands of growth for infestation. Sommerville, New Jersey. |

First power spraying apparatus used in gypsy moth control operations. An upright steam boiler was used in operating the pump to develop pressure required in spraying. The insecticide solution was transported in a horsedrawn watering cart connected by hose to the pump. A small tank containing water for the steam boiler was hauled on a low truck at the rear of the unit. This apparatus was used before 1900. Melrose Highlands, Mass. |

Trap(s) |
Installation of gypsy moth delta trap. Traps are used to detect isolated populations of gypsy moth. They are deployed on systematic grid of 1 trap/4 sq. miles once detected. The size of population is determined by more extensive grid (16 traps/mile). The traps are baited with female pheremone which attracts male moth. The sticky surfaces inside the trap catches moths. |

In addition to flight, Asian gypsy moth have broader host range than gyspy moth. Asian gyspy moth will feed on conifers while gyspy moth won't. Note that only caterpillar stage of either strains feed, adult moths are short-lived and do not feed. The adults only mate, lay eggs and then die. |
