It has two pairs of wings but tends to jump more than it flies. It feeds on a wide range of growing plants and is usually spread through the transportation of infested materials containing egg masses. This invasive species has recently been found, and become a widespread problem, in the New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Eastern Shore of Maryland area. Feeding as large groups, spotted lanternflies are known to greatly weaken trees and plants. At Viking Pest Control, we help you with all aspects of spotted lanternfly control.

The forewings are grey with small black spots, while the hind wings have contrasting black and red patches with a white band. Immature spotted lanternflies are a quarter-inch in length with white spots and black wings and look like ticks. Spotted lanternflies typically don’t sting or bite humans, and don’t get indoors, but they can cause extensive damage to your business’s outdoor environment.

How to Identify Spotted Lanternfly Damage The spotted lanternfly is an invasive species that was discovered in the U.S for the first time in Pennsylvania in 2014. As an agricultural pest, it’s known to cause damage to grapevines, fruit trees, ornamental plants, and more than 70 woody plant species. Usually, these pests like to congregate in massive populations on tree trunks and branches to such the sap from the phloem. Some of the common signs of spotted lanternfly damage include foliage wilting, branch dieback, sap oozing on tree trunks, and mortality of young trees and vines. Spotted Lanternflies are especially destructive to businesses that depend on growing plants such as wineries and breweries but can cause costly damage to any business with outdoor elements. When spotted lanternflies feed, they leave a sticky substance called honeydew. The honeydew can attract other spotted lanternflies and pests such as ants and bees. It can also cause the growth of black sooty mold on trees.
