at a distance of about five feet from the ground take regular ol vaseline jelly and apply a band of it about four inches all the way around the tree trunk. the gypsy moths will not cross this barrier. they crawl up the tree trunk hopefully going to the leaves up top but not being able to cross the jelly will fall off and die. I was in Mass when they first appeared and there were swamps of 'em.
