Tent caterpillar infestation makes it tough to find insecticide
There’s an infestation in Saskatchewan.
At a glance they might look like fuzzy blankets draped around trees and buildings. In reality, they’re clumps of tent caterpillars. They’re surfacing in large numbers around the province, and that’s forcing people to find a way to get rid of them.
One of the most common ways is to use the organic pesticide BTK. But finding it may prove to be a challenge.
Luckily for Leanne Mejia, she found it at Dutch Growers in Regina, explaining she rushed over from work as quickly as she could when she learned the business had it.
