This now virtual event will teach you how to identify spotted lanternflies and their eggs, then give you resources so that you can explore parts of your neighborhood that have large numbers of tree of heaven (SLF’s preferred food source) to track this invasive pest. Registration for this event is required.

If you find a SLF specimen in any stage, please do the following:

1. 1. 1. Take a picture (with GPS activated, if possible)
      2. Destroy it!
         1. Scrape eggs into a plastic bag with alcohol or sanitizer and place inside ANOTHER bag.  Or simply smash them thoroughly.
         2. Kill all nymphs and adults
      3. Report it to the Penn State Extension https://extension.psu.edu/have-you-seen-a-spotted–lanternfly

Please don’t hesitate to contact lindsey.rose@ninemilerun.org if you have any questions.
