Spotted Lanternfly Question

Q: What are the approved pesticides for SLF now? 
A: The approved pesticides vary by state, so I would check your state’s university extension website or your local extension office. Cornell IPM periodically updates lists of pesticides that can be used against spotted lanternfly in NY

NY Invasive Species Awareness week happens in June, so we're focusing on two invasive species - spotted lanternfly and wild parsnip - and how IPM should be part of your response to them. Get an update on where we are in the SLF life cycle and action steps for this time of year. Learn how to recognize and why you should avoid wild parsnip.

About our "What's Bugging You?" series

Each month at New York State Integrated Pest Management's "What's Bugging You? First Friday" events, experts share practical information and answer questions on using integrated pest management (IPM) to avoid pest problems and promote a healthy environment where you live, work, learn and play. We end with an IPM Minute, and cover a specific action you can take in the next few days to help you avoid pest problems.

See the What's Bugging You? Page for more events.
