Managing Spotted Lanternflies (for Homeowners)

[@timhallas4275]

I would also recommend cutting down the trees that you find them on in large numbers, as this will limit their food supply and also impact the numbers of surviving eggs. Every adult or nymph you prevent from reproducing will lower the number of new bugs next year by 50. In areas where there is no concern for plant damage, I kill them with gasoline from a pump-spray bottle. Just be careful not to create and sparks or flames while spraying or shortly after. gasoline kills them very quickly and at under $4 a gallon, it's far cheaper than insecticide.

Seven worked good or bioadvanced worked well.i also did bleach or dawn dish liquid and water 50/50 this slows them down and you can squash them.

[@billweyant4532]

Half and half dawn dish liquid and water.this slows them down and you can step on them or swat them

I did this but it killed my plants as well. The dawn was so abrasive. I guess it works on hard surfaces though.
