Be aware that spraying pesticides to control lanternflies and mosquitoes will also kill beneficial insects. Instead, use a targeted spray to kill spotted lanternflies using a 1:1 mixture of dish soap and water or spray undiluted vinegar.
Bugwiz.com* provides recipes for several easily made sprays to target spotted lanternflies. They suggest mixing 1 cup of dish soap with 1 cup of water in a spray bottle. The soap can be rinsed off the plants later with a hose. Undiluted white vinegar works well too.
