in The Netherlands the winter has been very mild, and there is no evidence of that changing in the near future. And that would be to the advantage of the eikenprocessierups. After a mild winter, it will be the eikenprocessierups-eggs have previously been released, " explains managing director, Bastiaan Meerburg of the learning and counseling center center animal plagues (FAMILY) out.
"typically, the eggs in april of the next year. As the weather has been so mild, it would be that soon, as early as march and can be done. If there are more larvae that will be is hard to predict the future. However, the peak in the previous year, on the 15th of June, a month in advance," says Meerburg.
The dierenplagenexpert have the right to succeed to the poor, for while it is a period of frost, according to the meteorologists are not in the store, there may be, for example, a period of cold in February and coming in. "You don't know what the winter is going to do it," he says.
Despite this, according to him, "this is the moment" in which municipalities are going to go on about how they are eikenprocessierups this year to address it. "Last year we had a number of local authorities completely by surprise and that may be for real this time. That is, they will still be in their ears, they could be tied together to have it."
The plaque of the summer season, the eikenprocessierups Churches began to allow the action,
The manager went out of eikenprocessierups was over, and summer is three times as large as that of the previous year. Tens of thousands of people have signed up with the irritation of the skin, eyes, and lungs, with doctors and hospitals.
now, Many municipalities decided to pass it in may or June, a couple of the tracks and have to fight against it. The greatest sorrow was when it all came to pass, as the tracks were already full-grown and already, thousands of hair - which, for people itching to make were sold.
This year, the municipalities do not have the same fault and want to make. The number of municipalities which preparations is increased compared with the previous year, it was reported in the NIS, in december, on the basis of a journey through dozens of cities.

Platform expect a lot of caterpillars this year,
and The Platform Eikenprocessierups, a joint initiative of the federal ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food quality, where the ATMOSPHERE is concerned, it has the last year been trying to map out what is known as "becomes", it will be in the year 2020. The following are the main conclusions are:
There are less and less eikenprocessievlinders living on their own compared to the previous year. It is, however, still have to have the second largest number since the year 2012. It is not clear what is the cause of this decline. This could be due to the active control of the caterpillars of the last few years. Might be a lot of caterpillars, due to the heat of the soil in the crawl and in the course of the eikenprocessieseizoen again. This can have the effect of a preventive control make up the difference. Last year, the platform to sudden outbreaks in areas where fighting had taken place. Conclusion: the Platform Eikenprocessierups expected on the basis of the number of observed butterflies this season, a major becomes". The sore may be increase in large-scale crawlers out of the ground. Eggs are hard to see with the naked eye,
The FAMILY will help the municipalities in the preventive control of the larvae. They can also provide Platform for knowledge Processierups attention. One of the ways in which preventive treatment is, according to Meerburg and spraying with nematodes. "This is a form of biological control with the nematode, a bacterium, plant, in the larf, the walk in the park."
Preventative removal of their eggs, according to him, makes no sense. Even though the eggs are already in the fall as a time tijdbommetjes lie in wait in the trees, they are visible to the naked eye, namely it is barely noticeable.
finally, it hopes to be Meerburg and that local authorities "are aware of their responsibilities". "I would love it if they don't, or hardly any, preparations have been taken and where they of last year, the nuisance had," he said.
