Spotted Lanternfly Resources
Spotted Lanternfly has been found in Lucas County, and sightings continue to be reported by residents. If you suspect you have seen SLF, please report your finding with a photo and then collect or stomp, smash or squish the insect. The insect is in the adult stage and the females are laying egg masses. The egg masses will winter over, as adults will be killed by freezing temperatures when they arrive later this year.
Managing their number one food preference is key in the management.
