A Gypsy Moth Update from Charlie Finley - Iosco County Commissioner
I contacted Neal Swanson from Aquatic Consulting Services which was recommended to me by MSU Extension Office in Roscommon. He recommended an egg count survey after the leaves have fallen from the trees in our area sometime between September and January. Based on this information, they will develop a treatment plan for 2020. It appears the areas affected are north of Long Lake to Jose Lake and Chain Lake area. Iosco County Treasurer, Elite Shellenbarger, has said there is a $41,000 balance in the gypsy moth treatment fund. However, there is currently not a department in place at the County level to monitor this problem as it was dissolved sometime ago. I gave Mr. Swanson the areas that were infected and he developed a cost per acre estimate for the survey. The proposal was sent to Mr. Shellenbarger and is on the agenda for the next Commissioner’s meeting on Wednesday, August 7, 2019 at 9:30am.
Contact Charlie Finley for any additional questions you may have. He can be reached at charleslfinley@gmail.com or 989-619-0564.
