What product does the MDA use to manage spongy moth at treatment sites?
The MDA uses the product SPLAT GM-O for mating disruption. SPLAT GM-O is used in areas where low populations of spongy moth have been detected.
Mating disruption uses pheromone-based products to confuse adult moths and prevent them from reproducing. Mating disruption floods the area with the scent of the female moth and confuses male spongy moths so they cannot find females. They die without reproducing. The product does not actually kill moths.
