Last updated: July 26, 2018

Current status of caterpillars on street trees

Regarding the current state of caterpillars that occur on sidewalk trees, roadside trees that are prone to caterpillars include cherry blossoms and camellias. Caterpillars include non-poisonous caterpillars such as Monkuro killer whale and American white-hit, and poisonous caterpillars such as Chadokuga and Ira moth. Caterpillars may appear on some roadside trees from May to September.

Efforts against caterpillars that occur on street trees

As a countermeasure against caterpillars that occur on roadside trees, we spray chemicals that do not affect the human body twice a year to prevent the occurrence of toxic chadoku moths and moths. We are here. In addition, when we confirm the occurrence of caterpillars based on patrols by staff and information from citizens, we take appropriate measures according to the situation at the site.

Note: The chemical used (Cellcoat Aguri) By creating a wafer-like film, the eggs of insect pests cannot hatch. Since it is used, it is a harmless drug to the human body.
