NOTICE RE: BROWN TAIL MOTHS

The Maine Forest Service recommends landowners within 3 or 4 air miles of the ocean should proceed with plans to hire a licensed pesticide applicator if they wish to control browntail moths in 2004. Very sensitive individuals or those with very high numbers of wintering webs on their property should allow a licensed applicator to make a final assessment as to whether you need to treat on a case-by-case basis. If you want to have your property sprayed, the Town recommends that you act soon in order to ensure that you will be able to be treated. The Town also recommends that you coordinate your efforts with your neighbors in order to reduce the cost and increase the effectiveness of the ground spraying. A list of licensed ground spray applicators is located here:
