Hi All,
I just went outside and spotted a Lanternfly on my patio chair. These flies are very destructive and have been seen in numerous locations in our area in prior years. They will kill trees, shrubs, vegetables, etc.
I live on 70th Street between Calamus and 54th Avenues in Maspeth. If I saw one, there's probably many more.
Last June an Elmhurst resident spotted Lanternflies on her plants in Elmhurst. The resident found that the information bellow works the best for her.
Lanternfly bugs can be easily killed using a mixture of dish soap. Dawn dish soap is effective at controlling these bugs though any brand of dish soap works. Though it is not a completely natural method to get rid of lanternflies, it is much safer for children, pets and even adults. A lot of people prefer using Dawn dish soap to kill lanternflies as it kills them on contact'.
Attached are photos of the Lanternflies on her plants and we also attached more information about them.
