Spotted Lanternfly Control

An insect known to be destructive to the tree-fruit, hardwood trees and to the nursery industries in Southeastern PA.

The spotted lanternfly feeds on trees using a piercing-sucking mouthpart that taps into the plant like a straw. As it feeds on the plant, it excretes a honeydew substance which can create a black, sooty mold that attracts nuisance insects such as ants and wasps.

The trees can sustain damage and start to decline, ultimately resulting in the tree’s death. The PA Department of Agriculture has been conducting studies and trial treatments on the best way to control this insect.
