Look Out for the Spotted Lantern Fly

The Cornell Cooperative Extension in Rockland County reminds us to keep an eye out for the invasive spotted lantern fly.

As Upper Nyack Green Committee member Suzanne Buchauer notes, you can go into your yard to find and eliminate eggs, or contact the Cornell Cooperative Extension, if you spot either eggs or the lantern fly.  Eggs can be on trees or on other objects.  Here is a link on how to rid yourself of the eggs, or if you don’t want to do that yourself, call for help and to report them.

You can fill your baggy with either hand sanitizer or alcohol as long as when you scrape these eggs into the bag, the eggs get in contact with that alcohol. That will make sure you kill them.

Here is more information from the Cornell Cooperative Extension.
