It is recommended that you spray the bark on the tree but not to the point of runoff. The biggest key with this insect is timing to ensure the infestation doesn't get out of hand. Once the tree is infested there isn't much you can do other than chop down the tree and burn it to try and prevent the current live ones from getting into any neighboring trees.
Acephate 97UP Insecticide is not labeled to control browntail moths so we don't know if it would be effective, or what use rate would be needed for control. That species seems to be localized only to certain areas of Maine where you are located and are not specifically listed on labels. Maine has multiple websites and resources surrounding browntail both control, local arborist in your area that can make pesticide applications for you, etc. None of the info we looked through indicates a specific insecticide they suggest for it, most of the control is most effective when done manually to burn or remove the webs during winter months.
We did find 2 helpful articles by the Maine Dept of Agriculture, the Browntail Moth Management Resources and Knockout Browntail Brochure Article.
