County of Oscoda
2023 Gypsy Moth Program
This year’s Gypsy Moth program is concluded for the 2023 year. The program is a targeted spray based on an egg mass survey that was conducted. The actual spray of selected areas will begin, weather permitting, the first week of June.
Anyone within a targeted area has been mailed a letter that will advise them they are in a targeted area and a form that will allow them to opt out of receiving spraying should they wish it.
If a block is disbanded due to opt outs, as they each create an exclusion zone around them, the taxpayers inside the original block will receive notice that their area will not be receiving spraying.
We encourage everyone to please be patient. The finalized block maps area linked below.
Due to the cost of fuel the amount of acreage sprayed this year is lower than in previous years, coming in at around 2750 AC.
