The Eradicoat® Gypsy Moth Control System combines the familiar process of tree banding with a patented insecticide that produces the most effective control of the gypsy moth caterpillar on the market today.
The Eradicoat® Gypsy moth Insecticide is specially formulated to blend a well-known and effective pesticide (Permethrin) into a latex-based polymer. The result is a liquid, which applies and dries like a clear paint, but maintains the qualities of a highly effective insecticide.
When gypsy moth caterpillars travel across a tree treated with the Eradicoat® Gypsy Moth Control System, the mucus membranes on the bottom of their feet will dissolve some of the polymer coating, and release enough insecticide to kill the caterpillar.
And, just one application of Eradicoat® insecticide lasts the entire season.
