and this is my reply above: It is all about balance, balance in nature. If we continue using pesticides, killing birds and other insects, the lanternfly's natural predators would be less and less in numbers. What is shown in this video - not much vegetation for the birds and insects. Going after affect instead of the cause, killing and poisoning, will only create more imbalance and bigger problems. Same as in a human body, btw :)

Be careful doing that. Examine your car/vehicles. Make sure they don't have any egg masses of them. Otherwise...you may spread them to other places. Look up "Spotted Lanternflies hitchhiking"

They'll also end up causing havoc with yellowjackets. Their gross secretions, attract yellowjackets, who start to become aggressive in defense of the invasive bastards.

Luckily here in east PA., their numbers this year, seem to have dwindled. So hopefully they'll inevitably die off.

Vinegar kills them instantly. The adults don’t survive freezing temperatures but the eggs do. However, apple cider vinegar is safe to use around your yard. I’m sure spraying a solution of that and water will finish off the eggs but this is something we should be concerned about. What if they could bite? What if we get an insect outbreak and they spread disease?

Whether some of you believe me or not but during my daily work Outdoors I see tons of these things and I observe their behavior and it is very unusual for any insect. If you ask me I think these things were man-made. They kill crops and are going to cause major damage to the agriculture industry and I think that this is a form of warfare similar to what the US did to Vietnam with Agent Orange to kill their crops but now this Warfare to kill our crops is in the form of a man-made insect. These things follow you and jump on you and do any and everything to try to get inside your vehicle and under the wheel wells. The insect knows what it's doing that it wants to cause Havoc by making sure it's spreads to other areas. They get on to my equipment knowing that it's going to eventually go back into my van. The insect is too intelligent so you cannot tell me that BS that this is a native insect of Asia.
I agree, and people may call you woke or conspiracy theorist. These were put here on purpose…because they have no actual benefit to the ecosystem. And it’s similar thing with the man made mosquitoes by bill g@tes.
I also heard from a guy who knows a guy that they silently whisper the Communist Manifesto into your ear when you sleep at night before giving you a kiss on the lips and leaving. They're all male.

Spotted lanternflies are an invasive species with few natural predators in the US. They were introduced in 2014 through eggs that had been laid on a shipment of imported stone from China. Currently, work is being done to assess the possibility of introducing parasitic wasps to help control their numbers but the research is slow going because we don't want the "cure" to be worse than the disease.
No bro they are an invasive species there is no natural predators in this eco system that eats them that’s why they a problem it’s called asymmetric warfare. The other side is testing us, and by what I’m reading in these comments and seeing in my local community we showing them we are fools and ain’t gotta clue and tryna figure out a science mastered thousands of years ago. Don’t forget about “Pharaoh and the plague of locust” this is by design and exploiting the gullible people of America who sympathize and embrace foreign things for class status by planting these weird ass trees and plants not native to our soil cause they are “pretty” or “exotic” Nothing to do with farmers and American agriculture bro that’s far out to believe.
