Spotted Lanternfly Control
Manage Pennsylvania's invasive spotted lanternfly in Lancaster, Harrisburg, and the surrounding counties
Spotted lanternfly has exploded across South-Central Pennsylvania since its 2014 discovery. While not deadly to most trees, heavy populations stress plants and create nuisance with their sap droppings and sheer numbers. Our treatment program significantly reduces populations during peak adult season when they're most problematic.
Control Methods
Trunk Injections
Systemic insecticide injected into tree trunks provides season-long protection.
Trunk Sprays
Barrier treatments on tree trunks kill lanternflies as they climb to feed.
Foliar Applications
Contact sprays that knock down heavy populations on leaves and branches.
Egg Mass Destruction
Winter scraping of egg masses reduces next generation before they hatch.
Understanding SLF
1
Tree Damage
Feeding weakens trees and can kill young trees or stressed mature specimens.
2
Honeydew Problems
Sticky sap droppings coat surfaces and promote black sooty mold growth.
3
Nuisance Pests
Adults swarm outdoor spaces in late summer, ruining outdoor activities.
4
Agricultural Impact
Serious threat to grapes, tree fruit, and nursery industries statewide.
