Removing the Spotted Lanternfly Without Harming Wildlife
Channel: Philly Metro Wildlife
Date: 27/06/2020

Lanternfly tape has a devastating affect on wildlife (birds, bats, flying squirrels, etc.).  We oppose its use.  

If you find an animal on tape, do not attempt to remove it.  Cut the tape from the tree and apply paper towel to the rest of the exposed tape so the animal does not get further attached.  Place the animal, tape, and all in a cardboard box and bring it to us.  

If you insist on using sticky tape, wrap it with hardware cloth to prevent harming other wildlife.  We’ve created a video (below) about the solution we developed.
