STOP PRESS GARDEN WASTE SERVICE

MARSHALL PARADE
Fitting out has started on the retail unit for Synergy Dentists.
OAK PROCESSIONARY MOTH
There have been several confirmed sightings of Oak Processionary Moth (OPM) caterpillars in parts of Woking borough and residents are being reminded to avoid all contact with this hazardous tree pest.
Their nests are typically dome or teardrop-shaped, ranging in size – from a ping pong ball to as large as a rucksack. They are white when fresh, but soon become discoloured and brown. The caterpillars have black heads and bodies covered in long white hairs that contain proteins which can cause itchy rashes, eye, and throat irritations. They can also occasionally cause breathing difficulties in people and pets, so should not be touched under any circumstances.
The greatest risk period is May to July when the caterpillars emerge and feed before pupating into adult moths, but nests, even old ones, should not be touched at any time. The caterpillars feed on oak leaves, which can leave the trees vulnerable to other pests and diseases and drought.
Take care & stay safe.
Regards,
Andy Grimshaw
PNF Chairman
