If you ever see this winged creature near your home, you might want to consider getting rid of it

• Egg Masses: Scrape egg masses from surfaces like tree trunks, fences, or outdoor objects. Place the scraped mass into a sealed bag filled with alcohol or sanitizer before discarding it in the trash.
• Nymphs and Adults: Crush nymphs and adults as soon as you spot them. You can do this by hand, foot, or with tools like a broom. Be sure to wear gloves to avoid direct contact with the bugs.

If you live in an area under quarantine for spotted lanternflies, follow all local regulations to prevent spreading them to other regions. Additionally, report any sightings to local authorities or agricultural departments to aid in broader control efforts.

Please share your experiences with these pesky creatures and spread the word about the damage they cause to our environment!
