Spotted Lantern Fly control. We have an infestation of spotted lantern flies on our tree of heaven trees as expected. Notice how they cluster together at the base along the soil line. Using carbaryl (Sevin)to control them works ok but there are some things I’ve learned. The jump of you spray them directly on their backs. They will attempt to walk away from the spray and often will walk mostly up not down; prepare for this and pre spray a band above and to the sides of clusters that you are trying to control. If you can spray from above and the will move into the chemical. As always follow the directions on the label and only apply at the rates suggested. Avoid spraying at times when other pollinators are out. I wish we were allowed to burn out of season so I can remove and destroy the host trees.
