  1. We live in Hampstead and think we have an infestation of gypsy moth caterpillars taking over two of our sweet gum trees. We have a bunch of caterpillars everywhere climbing our porches and house with visible nests in those trees. We also have at least twenty oak trees in our yard and are very concerned as to how to get rid of these so they do not spread throughout my trees. Please HELP
