Now it' s over to Claire, expert in a technique they call tree misting. Our colleague Claire has brought a device called a mister, which is going to blow a chemical up into the tree. A fine mist of pesticide will swiftly dispatch the insects. The protective suit is a precaution, even though the substance is biodegradable and harmless to birds and mammals. It' s the latest technology in entomology. Max has been waiting for this moment for years. I' ve been coming to this common since 1995. We' ve always been aware that this is something it' s never been done, and my old friend Ian Menzies, whose collection we now have. He' s been coming here since the 50s. And we used to talk about doing this, and unfortunately he didn' t live long enough to see it, but I' m glad that we' re going to get it done and fill in the final piece in the jigsaw really. The fine spray of pesticide reaches 15 metres up into the branches. |
