Spotted Lanternfly Circle Traps

Emily Hartley, FCCD Watershed Specialist, met recently with PA Department of Agriculture to learn how to deploy circle traps for spotted lanternfly control. These circle traps capitalize on the lanternfly’s tendency to migrate upwards on the tree and captures them in the bag at the top! For instructions on how to create and deploy your own circle traps, please visit the following link: https://extension.psu.edu/how-to-build-a-new-style-spotted-lanternfly-circle-trap.
