The Spotted Laternfly - How do we stop this pest? 🤷 By working together as a community we can stomp out this bug! Spotted Lanternflies will amass on plants and suck sap from all the leaf parts, causing branches to die and potentially plant death. Look for the nymphs and adults on tree trunks, plant stems, fences, and even lawn furniture. When spotted, stomp or squash them! December to April is the time of year to keep an eye out for egg masses that were left to weather the winter months. Resident can inspect tree trunks, fences, rocks, and other lawn furniture that has a smooth surface where eggs can adhere. The egg masses are about 1 inch in length and ½ an inch wide, with a shiny grey-brown coloration. When spotted, you can either crush the egg mass or scrape them off into a baggie that contains alcohol and secure the bag before throwing it away.
