T’ai Roulston, curator of the State Arboretum of Virginia & a researcher at UVA's Blandy Experimental Farm says removing the invasive spotted lanternfly's preferred food source has more impact on their control than trying to stomp them. Read more news.virginia.edu/content/what...
What’s bugging you? Spotted lanternfly proves hard to control
Stomping, swatting and slapping the bugs seems futile in the face of overwhelming numbers.
