The Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) will soon begin aerial treatments to control populations of the Spongy Moth (formerly Gypsy Moth), an invasive species, in Ohio.
Treatments will be applied in Hardin County as well as in Auglaize, Fairfield, Hocking, Knox, Licking, Logan, Vinton, and Washington counties.
Applications are tentatively scheduled for mid-June, weather permitting. Treatment dates and information can be found on ODA’s Spongy Moth webpage.
Applications are administered using a low-flying yellow aircraft, approximately 100 feet above the treetops.
