June 04,<\/strong> 2025<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve noticed browntail moth webs over the winter<\/a> or have been spotting caterpillars on your trees this spring, you\u2019re not alone. Browntail moth caterpillars are a major nuisance in Maine, and many homeowners worried about these pests often find themselves reaching out to tree companies for help. But is that really the best solution? Here\u2019s why you might want to think twice \u2014 and why Pine State Pest Solutions is the expert you want on your side.<\/p>\n Browntail moth caterpillars<\/a> live in the branches and leaves of trees like oak, apple, birch, and cherry. Their nests are easy to spot in webs on tree limbs, especially in spring and early summer. Because these caterpillars live in the trees, not inside your home, many homeowners assume that a tree care company is the right choice.<\/p>\n Additionally, one effective way to manage browntail moth populations is to prune and remove infested branches before these pests leave their webs, which may require professional tree expertise and equipment. This makes tree companies a natural first call for many.<\/p>\n While pruning is an important part of controlling browntail moth caterpillars, it\u2019s often not enough by itself, especially once the caterpillars are active and feeding. At this stage, chemical or biological treatments applied directly to the trees are the most effective way to protect your property and family.<\/p>\n That\u2019s where Pine State Pest Solutions comes in.
