While completing a bat exclusion on a home located in Irwin, PA, Tall Timber Wildlife Services encountered the invasive spotted lanternfly. This is not good news. Should anyone find a spotted lanternfly, please smash each and everyone! These insects are extremely detrimental to our native and necessary plants.
If attempting to smash these bugs – be alert as they jump and fly really fast. You will need to be faster!
