As the LDD moth continues to be an environmental issue in Caledon and across Ontario, the Town of Caledon has received numerous complaints during the outbreak in the spring.
Having the ongoing issue with LDD moths, Council tasked staff with developing recommendations to deal with the issue.
Council passed a motion to approve the recommendations to provide resources towards the infestation.
Two amendments were made to the original motion by the Council to include an interactive map for monitoring pest management to be created the Town’s ping street app and that the 2022 budget include a plan for the potential need of aerial spraying on public property for highly affected areas through a cost sharing program.

The presence of gypsy moths (L.D.D moth) is rising around Dufferin County and all of southern Ontario following a relatively mild winter.
Ontario currently has a “severe” outbreak of the invasive species, which means there’s more than 6,000 gypsy moth egg masses per hector, while last year’s was deemed “moderate”.
This year’s increase in numbers is concerning to environmental groups like the Credit Valley Conservation Authority (CVC), as gypsy moths do have the potential to cause deforestation, especially after years of repeated infestations, with the greatest immediate threat to coniferous trees. Fortunately, the moths tend to be attracted to Oak trees and other deciduous trees, which hold up better against the pest, often able to last three to five years of defoliation.
