According to Penn State Extension, economists at Penn State University have estimated that, if not contained, the invasive spotted lanternfly could cost Pennsylvania’s economy at least $324 million annually. Besides feeding on and destroying economically important plants (grapevines, maples and other trees), spotted lanternflies in great numbers can significantly reduce our enjoyment of the outdoors in summer.
Now is the time to check for and remove egg masses from hard surfaces and to make a plan to combat lanternfly nymphs as they emerge, in April. The Penn State Extension website provides extensive guidance on Spotted Lanternfly Management for Residents, including practical tips for dealing with egg masses and nymphs.
