During the last half of July 2020 

we killed hundreds and hundreds 

of Gypsy Moths 

and scraped thousands of egg masses 

off of trees. 

Even today we are finding more egg masses. 

I read that scraping them off the trees 

does not help 

but surly some will be killed if they are scraped off. 

Not looking forward to the larvae in the spring.
