Re: Caterpillars
Posted: Mon Jan 28, 2019 8:11 pmHow do you report it? We have a tree opposite, with nests. I have emailed Derek Monks but to no avail. A neighbour has done the same thing on Facebook and she hasn’t heard from anyone.

Best advice as always, check the trees before going near them.

Thanks

Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2019 1:37 pmIt is about the procession type. They are deadly for pets as dogs for example, if they snif them, or even snif hear from them they lost. This also gives a rash to humans etc...
Thats why it is necessary to let town hall know of any nest you find on public ground. They nest in pine trees.
Private is for the owners. You can call town hall: Rojales: 966 715 001 ( Spanisch )
or town hall Quesada: 965 725 722 , ask for Derek Monk ( English )

Derek is not the best person for replying. He has probably passed your e-mail on the the parks and gardens dept.
