The caterpillars feed on oak leaves, weakening the tree and making it more susceptible to disease and environmental stress. Their tiny hairs contain an irritating toxin that can cause skin rashes, eye irritation, sore throats and breathing difficulties in people and animals, making infestations a significant health hazard.
At Acacia Tree Surgeons, we provide a safe, professional OPM removal service. Our trained team follows strict safety procedures to remove nests and caterpillars, preventing the spread of hazardous hairs. All contaminated material is carefully sealed, transported and disposed of in accordance with current regulations, ensuring your property is left safe and compliant.
