City to Host Aerial Spray Information Open Houses
|
T
his spring, the City of Mississauga is conducting an aerial spray. The spray will help manage high levels of fall cankerworm and gypsy moth caterpillar populations and prevent tree loss.
The seasonal spray window is set for April 23 to June 10, 2018, between 5 and 7:30 a.m. The area being sprayed consists of private and public land in Wards 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 and 11.
The spray will happen over a three-day period, with a total of two spray applications being completed. In the weeks leading up to the spray, residents in the defined spray zone area will be contacted by the City with further details.
To prepare for the spray, the City is hosting information open house events for those who live or work in the
designated spray areas
.
City staff will share details about the spray, explain how to control fall cankerworm and gypsy moth caterpillars on private property and provide an overview about the long-term health of Mississauga’s tree canopy.

Also, the Forestry Department would like to know the best way to inform you about updates about the spray. Please take a moment and fill out this
