The Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) has determined that there is a Gypsy Moth infestation of foliage in and around the Granville area.  Aerial treatment(s) of forested areas infested with the Gypsy Moth pest may begin in early to mid-May with a larvacide treatment in mid-June. 

Open houses have been scheduled for the public on Tuesday, February 7^th and February 14^th from 6:00 to 8:00pm at Village Hall, 141 East Broadway in Granville.  Notification letters will be sent to all residents that are affected by this treatment.  Public comment period ends February 28, 2017.

All treatments will be applied from an aircraft flown approximately 50 to 100 feet above the tree tops.  The exact time and date of treatment applications cannot be determined in advance.  The timing of treatments is dependent on insect development and environmental conditions.  The Village will be contacted prior to the start of treatments.
