The gypsy moths that destroyed or severely damaged hundreds of thousands of acres of trees throughout the state for about a century have virtually disappeared in South Jersey.
An aerial survey performed in June and July showed evidence of gypsy moths in only 76 acres in Camden, Burlington and Ocean counties, according to the state Department of Agriculture.
The survey found evidence of gypsy moths in only 1,330 acres throughout New Jersey. The number of infested acres was so small that the state again opted to forgo its gypsy moth spraying program. The program was last used in 2011.
