Spotted Lanternfly Pest Control Services
At all stages of the spotted lanternfly’s life, it is a voracious feeder, boring into trees and plants to suck the juices. The feeding leads to oozing sap, leaf curl, wilting, and dieback in trees, vines, grains, and vegetable crops. Mosquito Joe® provides professional spotted lanternfly removal.

What Is a Spotted Lanternfly?
Planthopper Insect
The spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is a planthopper insect that does not fly long distances but hitchhikes across county and state lines. It is a striking, moth-like insect.
Spotted Lanternfly Eggs
Spotted lanternfly eggs are laid in masses that look like small mud smears measuring about 1.5 inches in length. You’ll find them on hard surfaces such as trees, stones, vehicles, and outdoor furniture.
Adult Spotted Lanternfly
An adult spotted lanternfly is about one inch long and has large, moth-like wings. The upper wings are a light tan with many black spots. The lower wings are sectioned, with white-striped black above a brilliant scarlet, spotted with black.

We noticed the difference, and so we were able to spend some quality summer time with the grandchildren in the backyard without getting bit by mosquitos.

Ever wondered about the best way to keep your home and yard bite-free? We’ve got the answers to your most common questions about eco-friendly pest control.
Native to China, India, and Vietnam, it was first detected in the U.S. in September 2014 in Pennsylvania. This beautiful pest is invasive and a voracious eater of many fruit crops and trees.
As they feed, their honeydew waste attracts other pests. The honeydew also encourages the development of fungal disease, further devastating plant life. In just eight years since the insect’s discovery in our country, spotted lanternfly damage exceeds hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Thus far, there is no simple pest management solution to the dangers posed by this invasive species. Spotted lanternflies are fast and difficult to remove, and it is critical not to destroy pollinators and other beneficial insects in our zeal to control these pests.
The best time to find adult spotted lanternflies is at dusk, when the colorful insects tend to cluster in groups on tree trunks or bushes. The mature female seeks out sheltered spots, like the bottom side of a patio table, house siding, bushes, the underside of tree limbs, or in the crotch of a tree. While eggs are often laid near these trees, hatchlings and nymphs have a wide range of fruit trees, ornamental trees, woody trees, vines, grains, vegetables, and herbs on their menu. In the winter, at the end of the year, be on the watch for spotted lanternfly egg masses. If you find one, scrape it into a ziplock bag loaded with hand sanitizer. Seal it and dispose of it.
