Henderson Pest Services recommends walking your property year-round: Inspect your property regularly to search for signs of this pest.
Trap or Kill Nymphs from April-July:
Traps: Wrap high risk trees with sticky bands. Surround the bands with chicken wire to prevent accidentally trapping birds & non target wildlife. Nymphs will get stuck as they crawl up and down the tree. Replace bands every few weeks for proper control.
Spot Treatments: If you see high populations attacking a specific plant, use a quick knockdown product like Neem Oil or insecticidal soap. Spray the oil or soap directly on the nymphs to kill them on contact. It’s important to note, spot treatments will not have a long-term effects on a larger SLF population.
Find and destroy egg masses from September-May: This helps Stop future generations from reaching the egg laying stage. One female can lay up to 30-50 eggs on just about any smooth surface. Scrape egg masses into a bag that contains rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer, double bag & discard in the trash.
Don’t move outdoor items before checking for egg masses attached to the items prior to transporting to new locations. (Furniture, firewood, children’s toys etc…)
