SPOTTED LANTERNFLY QUARANTINE:

There are currently 13 counties under quarantine for this devastating invasive pest. This insect poses a significant threat to not just agriculture, but to quality of life to those with high populations of the insect. During the months of December-April, the insect winters as egg mass. The egg mass contains 30-50 eggs and is covered by a waxy covering which resembles mud. The eggs may be laid by the female on any items which may be found outside. This includes, but is not limited to: woody debris, barrels, vehicles, outdoor play equipment, grills, landscape and construction materials, etc. Woody debris collected may be chipped into 1"x1" chips and left within the quarantine. The chips may also be transported to a company which has a compliance agreement for managing and handling the chips for mulch. (This list is provided on the PA Department of Agriculture webpage. www.agriculture.pa.gov/spottedlanternfly<http://www.agriculture.pa.gov/spottedlanternfly> under Quarantine - Compliance Agreement Participants. All other debris must be inspected prior to its movement out of the quarantine area. The inspections may take place by trained individuals. Submerging in water or oil applications are not shown to mitigate the egg masses. Egg masses must be removed and destroyed prior to movement or it must remain in the quarantine area.

Pictures attached for the current life stage of egg masses.
