    Oak Pest Problem: Bark Lice Webbings

    Caused by: Psocids, also called Bark Lice and Tree Cattle.

    Psocids are destructive insects that produce typical silken webbings, found wrapped around the bark. The webbing is not found on the leaves or branches. They should not be confused with garden caterpillars that are seasonal occupants of oaks and don’t cause much damage. Psocids don’t drain nutrition from the tree but feed on useful fungi found on the oak bark. They also feed on surrounding plant matter like mulch.

    Symptoms: Noticeable signs include the presence of fine thread-like webbing. Springtime is usually the time when bark lice multiply beyond control. More than nutritional damage, bark lice spoils the appearance of an oak.

    Remedy & Prevention: You can use any organic insecticide and seasonally spray it on the bark and the branches. This is the most effective method to get rid of bark lice. Harsh chemical insecticides are rarely needed for this problem.

    This whole thing cropped up elsewhere some time ago with myself and at least one other member being PMed to leave the subject alone by a senior member who moored in the marina , so so much for all boaters together n all that

    Stinks a bit of I'm alright Jack..........and not in my back yard...... then the same people moan of not being able to  moor where they want to when they want to........ they are all kiber flippers 

    If I had received a PM of that nature , I would have relayed it everywhere or named and in this case Damn shamed  ......

    Using/changing Gas Bottles

    in Technical Questions and Answers

    Posted

    Ray, the only real way of knowing is when it runs out.......most people carry 2 bottles (is there room in your locker for two)

    A gas locker should have a bottom vent hose that vents outside your boat.....if you can see a vent whole in the bottom of your gas locker  pour some water down it  and see where it comes out......this will prove that it is vented and its not blocked.....replace like with like you probably have a small calor bottle Red or Blue ....which do you have ?
