Army Worm invasion two years away

It will be at least two more years until Northwestern Ontario is plagued with high numbers of Army Worms. Ministry of Natural Resources Expert Taylor Scarr says the insect has a 7 to 10 year outbreak cycle. The last outbreak started in 2001 and ended in the summer of 2004. Scarr says when the outbreak starts you will notice more moths gathering around traffic lights at night.
