Browntail moth is currently at outbreak levels in parts of Maine. Hemlock woolly adelgid is expanding in the Midcoast as well as in southern Maine. In a questionnaire administered by the Maine Forest Service licensees were asked whether they would control for browntail moth and other insects and diseases. The Maine Forest Service does not recommend these above any others. Other licensees wanting to be listed should contact the Maine Forest Service, Forest Health and Monitoring.
