Don't Move With Moths
(NAPS)--According to the U.S.
Census Bureau, 12 percent of
Americans move to new homes
every year. The next time you're
among them, there's something
you need to remember NOT to
pack: gypsy moths.
The Danger
It's not just the right thing to
do--it's the law. The gypsy moth"
is one of the most destructive
pests of trees and shrubs in the
country. Gorging themselves on
leaves, gypsy moth caterpillars
defoliate, weaken and can kill
more than 300 different species of
trees. Since 1970, they've defoli-
ated more than 75 million acres.
When you move, preserve your
new neighborhood. Don't bring in
gypsy moths.
The Answer
That's why the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture requires
homeowners to inspect and
remove gypsy moth egg masses
from household goods prior to
moving--and get an official cer-
tificate of inspection.
Here's how:
• Inspect outdoor household
goods--lawn furniture, grills, out-
door toys, camping equipment--
for egg masses.
• Use a putty knife, stiff brush
or similar hand tool to dispose of
the egg masses into a container of
hot, soapy water, or place them in
a plastic bag, seal it, and set it in
the sun.
To get the certificate, you can
perform a self-inspection or hire a
state-certified pesticide applicator.
Give the inspection certificate to
your moving van driver, advises
the American Moving and Storage
Association. +
