The trees are densely packed with caterpillars; on the ground, the caterpillars are almost paved with sidewalks, and people have nowhere to get off their feet, and even have to open umbrellas to pass...

This is a recent scene that happened on Juniper Road in Ganjingzi District. The flood of caterpillars has eaten most of the plane leaves on both sides.

The scene of the green avenue into a "pest infestation" avenue

Citizen Xiaosha works near Juniper Road in Ganjingzi District. She said that the road is about a kilometer, lined with plane trees, green and lush, and in the summer, it is a good place for citizens to escape the summer and shade. "Since early July this year, the plane trees on both sides have been crawling with caterpillars."

Xiaosha said that every time she walked on this road, she had to hide a little, afraid that the insects would fall on her. By late July, caterpillars began to appear in large numbers, and the sidewalks were even covered with caterpillars. "There are so many bugs that there is nowhere to get off their feet, looking up at the leaves, there are piles of piles, nearby grass, on the road, even the garbage cans are crawling with caterpillars, and they dare not walk under the trees without an umbrella." Whenever she thought about that scene, her heart tightened.

Hidden dangers Damage to greenery Residents are stung

What happened to XiaoSha is not an isolated case. Residents of Pengcheng Homestead Community in Xigang District are also plagued by "insect infestation", and the ground seems to be covered with a layer of "insect blanket".

"In previous years, there were bugs, but this year it feels like a lot." Citizen Ms. Sun said. She told reporters that under the shade of the trees was originally a good place for the elderly to cool off and children to play, and now everyone did not dare to lean forward and walk around the road, but they were often stung by caterpillars, itchy and painful, very uncomfortable.

"What exactly causes the caterpillar to suddenly flood?" Which department should I contact when these pests are found? Seeing that the green trees were plagued by caterpillars, Ms. Sun was very anxious.

It is said to avoid rain and increase the number of sprays

Early this morning, after receiving complaints from residents, the staff of the garden department rushed to the scene to spray insects on the nearby trees. The relevant staff of the garden department of the Ganjingzi District Urban Management Bureau told reporters that this year's rain is more rainy, and bugs breed faster. To this end, they have increased the number of times they spray, but often it rains as soon as the medicine is sprayed, and the medicine is washed away by the rain before it takes effect. In the next step, they will continue to increase the number of sprays, try to avoid rain, and avoid "insect infestation" and "disturbance".
