TLDR
Pine forests of the Mediterranean area are subject to very serious depredations by the caterpillar of the Pine Processionary Moth as mentioned in this paper and traditional methods of containing it are unsatisfactory and better results are to be expected from measures designed to stabilise the population at an acceptable level rather than to eradicate it entirely.Abstract:
Pine forests of the Mediterranean area are subject to very serious depredations by the caterpillar of the Pine Processionary Moth. Although there are suitable habitats in other parts of the world, the moth has so far remained within this region because of its poor power of dispersal. Traditional methods of containing it are unsatisfactory and better results are to be expected from measures designed to stabilise the population at an acceptable level rather than to eradicate it entirely.read more

Effects of defoliation by the pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa on biomass growth of young stands of Pinus pinaster in northern Portugal
TL;DR: Application of models to analyse tree biomass after attack by the pine processionary moth showed that the decrease of biomass increment was proportional to the severity of the insect attack, with average values of losses in biomass increment ranging from 37% to 73%, depending on defoliation intensity.

TL;DR: In the arid areas of Vaucluse (France) the Ephippigerinae and specially Ephippers ephippigers fieb are able to destroy a great number of the eggs of Thaumetopoea pityocampa and to play an important part in the population fluctuations of the pest.

Control of the pine processionary caterpillar (Thaumetopoea wilkinsoni Tams) with diflubenzuron.
TL;DR: During 1973-76 trials were carried out to control the pine processionary caterpillar with Dimilin (25% diflubenzuron WP), and commercial treatments with this compound in the forest were followed up until 1978/79.
