You have to get them early. They feed on the buds mostly not the leaves like Gypsy moths. You don't really even see them until it is too late. They wiped out my blu berries one year. Oil spray should only be used if it is not going to be below freezing that nite which it can be in early spring. I use it on all my fruits. Personally I like something more powerful in the early spring to get the little buggers. Sevin is what I use. I only us it once as I don't like to use powerful chemicals but it is necessary in some case's this being one. Contact your county extension service for more info as they have several info sheets available for the asking. That is what they are there for.
