Identification, Life-History, Damage, and Approaches to Controlling the
Gypsy Moth
These documents contain information about the gypsy moth, its biology, and
control. Some documents were prepared specifically for Virginia and Virginia
homeowners and gypsy moth managers and educators. However, even if you do
not live in Virginia we hope that this information will be useful.

selected parts of Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina. They were
produced by Virginia Tech entomologists
as a part of the Gypsy Moth Slow
the Spread project.
- Gypsy Moth Defoliation Maps - Also produced
by Virginia Tech, these maps show areas of defoliation in Virginia and
West Virginia.
- The Swath Kit - A computerized
tool to visualize the deposit pattern of insecticide across an aircraft's
flight path and to quantify different parameters in a swath. The Swath
Kit, originally developed by entomologists at Pennsylvania State University,
is now a part of Droplet Technologies.
