Dangerous pests near the autobahn: Goldafter caterpillars feel at home in Anzing

According to Roswitha Holzmann, there are several

reasons

why a

particularly large number of gold ocher caterpillars have

settled down

along the motorway exit in Anzing for about two years

: “Here, along a busy road, there is

a slightly warmer microclimate

for these

pests

, which they like

a lot

.

In addition, the trees and bushes are

weakened more than elsewhere

by the increased

emissions of pollutants

, so the

insects

can multiply very well here.

The past

mild winter

also contributed to the

growth of

this

goldafter population

. "

Anzing plagued by gold extractor: community wants to take action

The municipality of Anzing has considered

countermeasures

, explain Mayor Kathrin Alte and Johannes Finauer from the building authority.

First of all, the

affected trees

would be

treated mechanically and the affected branches would be cut off.

In addition, numerous

nest boxes

near the motorway should ensure the

influx of many birds

.

"They are the natural opponents and predators of these

caterpillars,

they eat the

pests

and thus help to protect the population here from further

skin irritations

," explains Roswitha Holzmann.

She currently does not consider the use of chemical agents to be necessary, “such a measure should only be used very specifically and only selectively”.

“Now everyone involved has to work well together,” warns Mayor Alte: “We have to work together with the Autobahn Directorate, the Road Construction Office and the Lower

Nature Conservation

Authority to ensure that this pest does not jump onto the

cemetery grounds

or even the place.
