I live in bucks co, and what I do is use a landscaping torch. Multiple flies sit on maple trees, then you go from underneath and turn on the torch for a second. When they feel the heat, they open their wings and the flames burn just enough to kill or injure. The flames won’t even harm the trees and you can get a few hundred no problem
Do you have any problems yet with Asian Jumping Worms?
When anything gets started it never goes away.
Believe they are also here in The Niagra Region of Ontario Canada.
I heard they’ve been seen in California. People here aren’t familiar with the name but I listen to a podcast out of PA (You Bet Your Garden) so I’ve heard it mentioned many times and very aware how bad this pest is. I hope it can’t survive 6 months without water but if it can our trees are already stressed, we don’t need one more thing compounding our problems!
Yikes! Hope it doesn't find its way to Europe. We're busy fending off plagues of Spanish slugs. Good luck!
I also posted a link to the "tree of heaven" which is an invasive species AND is a haven for these pests. For some reason, my comment and link to information has been removed!?!
I saw these in Bridgewater and a few other places in Central Jersey
We're finding and killing them like crazy here 🙁 There are a lot in the spiderwebs too.
Its too late, I saw hundreds of them on one tree in High Bridge. They were all bunched up on one side of the tree. I see them all over Somerset and Hunterdon counties.
Apparently they are native to China and feed on fruit, ornamental and woody trees. Thank you for the heads up.
So sad to see this invasive insect! Hope and pray extreme cold will take them out! Thanks for the heads up! I’m just a residential gardener in southwest Indiana but I’m going on the hunt for them this week! Good luck to all affected by this!
I’m in Maryland and I have 2 tree-of-heavens in my yard. I will be inspecting them tomorrow! Thanks Mark!
Mother nature is fighting back…what one can expect from her?? And humans go and kill the creatures but do not stop to think that humans are ripping what they saw… Be kind to nature and nature will be kind to us… Look around what is going on? Our fault no one else is to blame!
Hmmm… I wonder if the Sticky Trap will catch them.
They made it to NYC already 🙁
Contained.. nature.. riiiight
Thank God we don’t have them here in Arizona. I have enough issues right now with Texas root rot that I can’t handle anymore issues, and thank you for sharing.
Praying mantises will hunt and eat almost anything, including spotted lantern flies! I have been encouraging praying mantises, finding their egg sacks in the fall and putting them in in my garden each fall. This year I’ve seen fewer spotted lantern flies then I did last year.
See if a shop vac works on them where they are in big groups like on the tree trunks.
have government pay $15 for every egg nest destroyed on video with a provable timestamp and with location. Find 1 an hour get paid $15 an hour just avoid corruption of people breading them to fake claims and fines for anyone shipping them in breeding them within city or county limits unless they get some kind of waiver for resonable cause
The trap says birds and ladybugs not good.Iam from Brooklyn,NY my communitygarden is Floyd Bennett Gardens Association at Floyd Bennett Field.Iam almost 100% that I seen some at the garden.
All over North east Burlington County
Also they expel what looks like black soot. This black soot kills vegetation , trees, whatever the soot covers. It looks like the tree is burnt. It is sweet and honey bees are using to make honey! Yuk! It’s call SFL honey. These flys are extremely destructive ,not to mention, if allowed to propagate, become plague like in that you can’t go outside without being inundated ..like stink bugs .
Who’s the insecure loser who gave this a thumbs down?
Im in middlesex County, I kill about 30 a day lol
well i saw one on my window, and i am in Georgia.
Yes I work in Staten Island and have seen many of these
Love what spiders do for us. Unfortunately there is a lot of fear and misunderstanding of spiders and their beneficial function. Thank you so much for this!
