Pine processionary caterpillars are insects that can cause severe damage to both trees and to humans and pets. They feed on the needles of pine and other coniferous trees, weakening them and facilitating the onset of other pests and diseases. Moreover, their urticating hairs can cause allergic reactions, dermatitis, conjunctivitis, and even asphyxiation. At Rapiplaga, we specialise in eradicating processionary in Malaga, covering areas such as Marbella, Estepona, Fuengirola, Mijas, Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Ronda, and the Antequera region.

Pine processionary caterpillars are insects that can cause serious problems to people and animals. These caterpillars have urticating hairs that detach and spread through the air, causing allergic reactions, skin irritations, eye and respiratory tract irritations, and even necrosis of the tongue if ingested. Therefore, it is important to avoid contact with these caterpillars and their nests, which are usually found in pines and other trees.
Outside this period, intervention becomes corrective.
The pine processionary, in its caterpillar stage, can be extremely dangerous and even potentially fatal for children and pets.
We are now entering the best time of the year to prevent this pest. Our technicians will assess each tree and apply a plant protection treatment through trunk injections, which prevents nest formation. This is the most effective method: it does not harm the tree and provides one year of protection, stopping this insect from settling in your pines.
Already seeing processionary caterpillars in your trees?
Act before they reach the ground. We install capture rings to intercept them as they descend from the pine, reducing the risk in your garden.
