Caterpillars appear in residential areas, authorities will continue to handle

In the past 2 weeks, caterpillars have appeared in large numbers on tree trunks and house walls in Phu Hoa residential area (Phu Loi ward, HCMC), causing concern among residents.

After several days of spraying, on November 19, residents living on D1 Street, Phu Loi residential area, said that caterpillars continued to crawl on tree trunks and house walls. Some households closed their doors and regularly cleaned their yards to limit the worms from crawling into their houses.
