I've also used a propane torch duct taped to the end of an extendable tree trimmer pole. Start at the top of the nest or the caterpillars will fall out and get away.

Re: Gypsi moth be gone
I do remember my uncle running around the farm when I was a kid with a flaming torch on the end of a 20' or so pole to roast the webs. It certainly was the dramatic way to go...
I haven't tried it on the GM, but I have used the long range wasp spray on web-worm nests with good results. Again, not for large scale application, but here and there works well. Torch is cheaper to be sure...
