🐛 The Hidden Dangers of Browntail Moths & Emerald Ash Borer
Living in beautiful Maine comes with its perks—but also with its pests.
Brown-Tail Moth:
- Each nest contains 400–600 caterpillars, and these pests are not just a nuisance — they’re a big threat to your trees and your family.
- Their toxic hairs can cause itchy, painful rashes (similar to poison ivy) and even breathing difficulties in sensitive individuals.
- These microscopic hairs can blow in the wind, landing on:
- Your freshly washed laundry and Bedding
- Outdoor furniture
- Garden spaces
…making everyday living and sleeping suddenly uncomfortable and risky.
Emerald Ash Borer:
- This invasive beetle bores into ash trees, disrupting water and nutrient flow.
- It can kill a healthy ash tree in just 2–3 years.
- Infestations often go unnoticed until the damage is severe, impacting the trees and how your property looks.

Browntail moth nests look like tightly woven webs at the tips of oak and fruit tree branches in winter. In spring, caterpillars emerge and may be seen crawling on trees, decks, and houses. Emerald ash borer damage is harder to spot but includes canopy dieback, D-shaped exit holes, and increased woodpecker activity on ash trees.

For browntail moths, the ideal window is Early April through June, before they reach peak activity. For emerald ash borer, spring or early summer treatments are most effective. The sooner you act, the better the results.
