Lanternflies are a highly invasive sap sucking pest that can damage a wide variety of plants, ornamental trees and vegetable crops. Lanternfly is an invasive species of planthopper, native to China and Vietnam. The insect was first discovered in Pennsylvania on September 10, 2014. These voracious worms have been spotted throughout Pennsylvania, and one of the best ways to combat them is through a systemic insecticide. Systemic insecticides are specifically designed for infestations where it is difficult to treat the insects directly.
Pest Control For Lanternflies
The lanternfly is not just an annoyance, it’s a threat to our food supply. It can kill trees, and its eggs are a threat to livestock. The USDA has declared it an invasive species, and they are working hard to eradicate it from our homes and businesses.
Fortunately, there are steps you can take to protect yourself against the lanternfly infestation. Check out this helpful guide from Pest Control for Lanternflies:
1) Get rid of any infected trees: If you find a tree that has been infested with lanternfly eggs, cut it down immediately. You can also use pesticides on healthy trees to prevent infestation.
2) Keep your yard clean: Sweep your yard weekly with a broom or leaf blower to remove any fallen leaves or debris that could be harboring lanternfly eggs.
3) Seal cracks in your home: The lanternfly lays its eggs in cracks in buildings near trees or plants—so sealing those cracks is one of the best ways to prevent them from getting inside your home!
4) Avoid plants that attract them: Plants like Japanese barberry and Virginia creeper attract these pests so avoid planting them near your house (or at least keep them pruned back).
The best way to deal with lanternflies is to prevent them from entering your home. If you live in an area where lanternfly infestations are common, experts recommend that you:
– Seal cracks and holes around windows, doors, siding and other exterior areas.
– Use an insecticide spray when opening the garage door or removing a car from the garage.
– Use sticky traps or glue boards to capture and destroy lanternflies inside your home.
