The Spotted Lanternfly is an invasive plant hopper which are spreading rapidly and present a serious threat to gardens, orchards, and woodlands in West Chester. Lanternfly nymphs feed on small plants and vines in the spring using their piercing mouthparts to suck the sap out of stems, leaves, and even the trunks. After maturing into adults, Spotted Lanternflies begin feeding on trees. Infested trees develop weeping wounds which leave grayish or black trails along the trunk. In fall, adults lay egg masses on host trees and nearby smooth surfaces like outdoor furniture, stone, structures and vehicles. Early detection is the key to protecting crops such as apples, grapes, hardwoods and stone fruits on your property. Our treatment uses a systemic pesticide which is applied to the roots of the plant and absorbs into the tree itself. This treatment kills the Lanternflies as they attempt to feed. and prevents further infestation.
