Gypsy Moth Treatments

Private Landowner Program

The landowner provides a map of the property to be surveyed.  PFP digitizes property boundaries, completes gypsy moth egg mass surveys, and determines the need for treatment.  If treatment is needed the treatment block is then established.  The landowner signs copies of the deposit invoice, signature map, and adjacent landowner notification forms.  Deposit is paid in late November and final invoice is paid in March.  NO1 map files are created and given to aerial contractors for treatment.

Contracts with private industry or county-based projects could also be included in this program.  If contracted, a dollar amount for the mapping, surveying, and treatment block recommendations would be established.  If treatment is necessary then the client would be eligible for a discounted per acre rate.

State and Federal Programs

PFP will bid on all State and Federal gm programs that are deemed to be within our best interest.

Invasive Insect Survey Trapping

PFP is prepared to establish contracts with federal, state, and private entities for the placement, monitoring, and removal of traps for invasive insect surveying and detection, such as the gypsy moth Slow the Spread program and ongoing efforts to monitor the inevitable spread of the Emerald Ash Borer.  

 

HWA Treatments

Treatments will be offered to private, state, and federal lands based on contract.

Billing will be based on soil injection treatments of an established cost per DBH inch with a maximum of 256 DBH inches per acre per year.  A 3-year contract may be established to treat all trees needed on acreage.  Also a maintenance contract may be needed to continue the monitoring and retreatment of trees on an as needed basis over the remaining contracted period.

Right of Way Work

Forest industries, power, gas, and coal companies could contract Precision Forestry Protection to do herbicide, fungicide and possible seeding programs.

Golf Course Maintenance

The possibility of aerial application of herbicides and fungicides to golf course and resort property could be contracted.

Other Forest Insects

The aerial treatment for fall canker worm, fall webworm, eastern tent caterpillar, and other forest pests could be offered in areas of high outbreak.
