You forgot the worst of them all. Browntail moth is ruining my life from mid may to mid july past 3 years. Spent $5k on mitigation/removal so far but they keep coming back that just keeps them from expanding. Looking at having to spend around $3000 this year. My wife breaks out even when fully clothed just from being outside until late September but I stop breaking out around 3rd week of july. It is our worst nightmare. Looking at contacting someone with a drone. My oak trees are infested and I have about 40 large oaks near my house all around 45-80 feet tall and I am on a pond so can’t spray within 75 feet. The injections are very expensive. Has another here used a done removal service and how much was it? It causes stress and anxiety for me year round worrying about how bad the next season will be. Spent many hours last year delimbing as much as I could around the house with a pole trimmer but that doesn’t help much for the 80ft oaks.
