Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gypsy Moth
The pest was first discovered in Connecticut at Stonington in 1906, where an isolated infestation of less than one square mile in extent was found to exist. Control measures were inaugurated by the Station and continued until the colony was exterminated in 1911.
Another colony was found in Wallingford in December 1909, and similarly eradicated in 1913.
In the spring of 1913, newly hatched caterpillars, were brought into the border towns of Connecticut presumably by a gale from the East. The first caterpillars were found by State employees at Stonington, and in order to learn where they came from, Federal scouts began to examine the Surrounding country, and to search the towns along the border. Up to this time eighteen towns, named on page 9 and shown on the map, figure 2, have been found infested.
