SPRING CLEAN-UP and street sweeping

 Around mid-April the City will begin street sweeping to clear debris left behind from winter. We will clean curb-faced sidewalks, traffic islands, hard-surfaced boulevards and curb-side gutters first, then roads and bike lanes.

GYPSY MOTH ONLINE REPORTING FORM...

REPORT GYPSY MOTHS

 I am pleased to let you know that after an awful gypsy moth infestation this spring, a motion was successfully moved at Council on Wednesday, June 16thto ensure there are funds in the budget and will be planning for an aerial spray of BTK for affected areas in 2022. We are strongly encouraging residents to register your infestation on the new interactive map that will help inform the City for locations for spraying next year. 


Given the changing cyclical nature of the gypsy moth, the City will be discussing the issue with other municipalities and experts to determine a more pro-active path going forward.
We are expecting a more detailed staff report from Forestry in the Fall of 2021. In the meantime, you can also use some of these pest control techniques, to help protect trees on your property:

  • Remove caterpillars from tree trunks and soak in soapy      water (most effective May-July)
  • Install burlap wrap to catch caterpillars before you      remove and kill them (most effective May-September)
  • Install pheromone traps to confuse male moths (most effective      June-August)
  • Search for egg masses to remove and destroy (most effective August-May)
