Processionary caterpillers

We live in Casal Palocco, a residential area of Rome very near the sea.  Pines (Pinus pinea) are in most gardens and line the streets and we have this terrible problem every year.  A neighbor's dog too bit one and was saved only because the vet quickly operated.  He too is with half a tongue etc.
 
As so far nothing seems to get rid of them the best advice is to be very very very careful where you step.  Watch the ground like a hawk.  Mother Nature is so wonderful but her inventions are sometimes a real pain...
