The invasive pests appear to be making a resurgence in areas that saw fewer last year.
nymphs are crawling around right now on trees, vines and other vegetation in the Lehigh Valley and beyond.
Or, experts say, those fed up with the non-native, invasive species’ march across the Northeast can try a new kind of trap patterned off traps designed to catch pecan weevils. To catch them as they crawl, PennState Extension have come up with detailed instructions available aton how to build your own trap similar to that used for pecan weevils but better designed for the spotted lanternfly. The materials include plastic milk jugs, duct tape, screen wire, twine, hot glue and gallon-sized food-storage bags.
“I have caught more nymphs than adults in my circle traps. However, some people report capturing a lot of adults, so it is fine to keep the traps up through the whole season,” Swackhamer said by email. “They should be taken down at the end of the season so they don’t turn into trash or girdle the tree years later.”
