Spotted lanternflies have\nbeen around for quite a few months and we had discussed certain solutions in\none of our previous blogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because spotted lanternfly, a phloem feeder,\nconsumes large quantities of a plant’s sugary sap looking for nitrogen and\namino acids, it expels large quantities of excess sugar (honeydew), that\nencourages the growth of black sooty mold. This mold is harmless to people,\nhowever it causes damage to plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spotted lanternfly treatment poses threat to\nnon-target wildlife species<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

CENTRE\nCOUNTY, Pa. (WJAC) – A preventative measure used to stop the spotted lanternfly\nis now raising concerns among wildlife rehabilitators across Pennsylvania,\nespecially in southeastern parts of the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rehabilitators,\nlike Centre Wildlife Care Executive Director Robyn Graboski, warn\nthat while sticky bands are effective in catching the insect, they also pose a\nserious threat to non-target species, “It’s bad. It’s really bad. There’s\nalready so much in the environment that’s detrimental to wildlife and our birds\nare declining in numbers. They do not need one more thing.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She explains the\ntreatment is becoming a trap for other wildlife, “The biggest problem that\nrehabilitators are seeing is, once these finders find these animals, they try\nto get the animals off themselves. That is not a good idea because you could\npull feathers out, you could break skin, you could hurt the animals. Even\nlittle animals are coming in with broken bones.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trapping the insects or using some pesticides won\u2019t help. Now,\nwe no longer have to depend on conventional, toxic insecticides to deal with\nthese pests!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need a long-term and\neffective solution to control their nuisance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
