Portland will follow through on a proposal to use pesticides to destroy browntail moths in Deering Oaks despite objections by a citizens group that pushed the city to implement strict rules on pesticide use.
Members of the city’s parks department told the City Council Wednesday about the plan for curtailing the insects, which threaten the health of both the park’s trees and humans who are sensitive to the larvaes’ tiny, poisonous hairs.
The response plan calls for relocating the Portland Farmers Market for 6 weeks and closing the popular park to the public for 1 or 2 days in May to allow for spraying.
