I'm pretty sure BT will work, and safe too, but the problem is getting it up 70 feet in the air to kill them. You also want to get to them while they are small if they get big they are harder to kill. It is going to be a bad year in my neck of the woods. They are starting very early this year. I think there is going to be competition between the winter moths and the gypsy moths for the same food source. I can remember 20 or so years ago that they ate every oak and then actually ate the pines. Looks like a forest fire went thru the area. Maybe they will kill each other off. P.M.
