The Pennsylvania Game Commission plans to spray over 123,000 acres of state game lands this spring to control the non-native gypsy moth population.
Spraying is planned on 46 different state game lands – 123,276 acres in all – and will begin as soon as leaf-out occurs and gypsy moth egg masses hatch, likely in late April and May.
No spraying will be scheduled the mornings of youth turkey season on Saturday or the opening day of spring gobbler season Saturday, May 4.
More information on spongy moths and the Game Commission’s spraying program, including a map updating the status of spraying is available on an interactive web page at www.pgc.pa.gov.
