Gypsy moths attach their
eggs to outdoor surfaces. When
attached to a motor vehicle or
train, the eggs are easily trans-
ported cross-country. Over the
years, most outbreaks have oc-
curred in King and Pierce coun-
ties, the state’s two most popu-
lous counties.

There’s no evidence that

However, it stands to
reason that El Nino’s ef-

In some years, natural

“We’re going to take a good,

WSDA will again this sum-
