How is spraying cockroaches and termites different?
Termites and cockroaches are either native or were introduced long ago; they are here to stay. Gypsy moths are not native to Oregon and are not established here. We have a choice with gypsy moth; eliminate the infestation or live with gypsy moths forever. The Oregon Invasive Species Council has identified gypsy moth as one of the 100 Worst Invasive Species threatening the State. ODA is committed to keeping it out of Oregon for as long as it is feasible to do so.
