Box Tree Moth Invasion in Ontario | Toronto News
Description
A deadly invasive moth from Asia is terrorizing boxwood plants across Ontario and beyond, stripping leaves and even chewing bark. With a four-centimeter wingspan and striking white-and-brown patterns, these pests appear in two summer waves and have spread to Quebec and other provinces. Canada now classifies them as a regulated pest, urging gardeners to inspect plants from May to September and manually remove moths, caterpillars, or eggs—or use natural pesticides. A tiny invader with major consequences—stay alert and protect your greenery.
