Leave only male, non-seed-bearing trees if possible to limit seed production. About 15 percent of tree-of-heaven trees should be left alive to serve as trap trees to attract Spotted Lanternflies. Note: Killing all tree-of-heaven trees may result in Lanternflies moving to surrounding plants increasing pest damage on them.Ĥ. Repeat herbicide applications may be necessary. If tree-of-heaven stems need to be removed, wait 30 days after treatment to cut the trees down. To control tree-of-heaven trees, treat using foliar, basal bark, or hack-and-squirt herbicide applications from July through September. Tree-of-heaven trees will resprout vigorously from their roots after cutting, even if stumps are treated with an herbicide. Use the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture SLF Quarantine Area Checklist when you have to move items from inside the quarantine to outside to comply with the Quarantine Order.ģ. Before you move outdoor items from the quarantine area, check for Spotted Lanternfly egg masses, nymphs, and adults and destroy them. Always read pesticide labels and follow the directions.Ģ. Manufacturer Safety Data Sheet Spring Treatmentġ. Manufacturer Safety Data Sheet Fall Treatment - the fall treatment is not a broadcast spray but a controlled bark drench on the buttress roots up to about 5’ on the tree. Management Information and Insecticide Safety Data Sheets The trees drink up the insecticide and Lanternflies that feed on them are killed for approximately 10 months going forward. These trees have been treated as trap trees in this spring with insecticide systemically through soil injection, and are identified by small treatment signs at the time of treatment.
Small treatment signs will be placed at the base of each tree treated. Each treatment dries within 15 to 30 minutes. Bark drenches to 5’ +/- high have and will occur as needed this fall. Spotted Lanternfly treatment is occurring on township-owned parks and preserves by an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist.Īs of fall 2019, the flies have only convened on Tree of Heaven, their favored host, in our Township parkland.

Each training webinar will focus on a different life stage of SLF based on the time of year that stage would be most likely found during survey.
#LANTERN FLY HOW TO#
The State will hold a series of training webinars to educate volunteers on how to identify SLF and tree-of-heaven, a plant that SLF commonly feeds on. Volunteers will also enter data from their survey work into iMapInvasives.
This online, GIS-based data management system is used to assist citizen scientists and natural resource professionals to protect against the threat of invasive species. The State invites volunteers to sign up to survey a specific area, or grid, of land on iMapInvasives.
