Spotted Lanternfly
Our remedy for spotted lanternfly control
First of all, contact us. The key to controlling a spotted lanternfly population is to focus on prevention as best as you can. So, timing is everything. Seal as many cracks and holes on the outside of your home as possible, especially on the south and west walls where the sun heats the home during the late summer and fall.
Check out our Healthy Home Maintenance Plan coverage to control these and other occasional invaders.
