How to Identify Spotted Lanternfly Damage

Early detection of SLF is crucial for effective control. Here's how you can identify signs of damage:

  • Oozing sap on the trunks of trees
  • Wilting or curling leaves
  • Increased ant, wasp, or bee activity around trees due to the honeydew excreted by SLFs
  • Black sooty mold growth on plants and surfaces below infested trees

If you notice any of these signs, it's imperative to contact professional tree care services immediately to assess the situation.

Spotted Lanternfly Extermination Techniques

We utilize a range of extermination techniques to effectively eliminate SLFs while minimizing impact on the environment and non-target species:

  • Manual removal of eggs, nymphs, and adult lanternflies
  • Application of targeted insecticides that are registered and approved for SLF control
  • Implementation of tree banding methods to trap nymphs
  • Use of attractant traps to monitor and reduce SLF populations

Eco-Friendly Spotted Lanternfly Control

We are committed to the environment and prioritize eco-friendly control methods:

  • Use of biological control agents such as fungi and beneficial insects that naturally target SLFs
  • Selection of insecticides with the least environmental impact
  • Employment of mechanical controls like tree banding to reduce insecticide use
  • Encouragement of natural predators in the ecosystem to aid in SLF control

Spotted Lanternfly Quarantine Zones

To prevent the spread of SLF, certain areas may be designated as quarantine zones. It is essential for residents and businesses within these zones to follow specific regulations to help control the spread of SLF. Monster Tree Service of Southwest Denver stays updated on all quarantine information to ensure compliance with these regulations during our service delivery.

  • Chemical treatments to eliminate active infestations

  • Physical removal of SLF life stages when feasible

We tailor our approach based on the specific needs of your property and the severity of the infestation.

Spotted Lanternfly Prevention for Homeowners

Prevention is key to stopping the spread of SLF. Here are some tips for homeowners:

  • Regularly inspect your property for signs of SLF, especially if you live near a quarantine zone.
  • Remove any tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), a preferred host of SLF.
  • Avoid moving firewood or other materials that could harbor SLF eggs or adults.
  • Keep your trees healthy and well-maintained to reduce their susceptibility to infestation.

Impact of Spotted Lanternfly on Local Trees

SLF can have a devastating impact on local trees, including:

Our History

In 2008, Monster Tree Service began as a small tree service company providing arboricultural care to Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey. Our founder was committed to promoting the growth of healthy trees and giving homeowners unparalleled service while taking care of their yards and homes. As a result, when other tree service businesses struggled to find jobs, our company kept working through every season, growing and expanding like the trees we care for.

Customers love working with us because we’re honest. When we tell customers they do or don’t need a particular service, they know we mean it. Because we care about trees, we’ll always fight for ways to rehabilitate your tree rather than remove it. When we do recommend removal, it’s because we know it’s the only thing that’s safe for your home and family.
