Protect Your Trees, Shrubs & Landscape from Spotted Lanternflies

The spotted lanternfly (SLF) is an invasive planthopper insect on Long Island that poses a serious threat to trees, shrubs, grapevines, and other landscape plants. While it may resemble a moth or “fly” when jumping, it is neither — it is a sap-feeding pest that can weaken plants, cause dieback, and produce sticky honeydew that attracts other insects and fosters sooty mold.



At Environmental Design Group, our professional Lanternfly Control services are designed to protect your landscape from damage, reduce populations, and preserve plant health with targeted, science-based treatments.

What Is the Spotted Lanternfly?

  • SLF is a large, non-native planthopper first discovered in Berks County, PA in 2014.
  • Adult lanternflies are about 1" long, gray with dark spots, and primarily feed on trees of heaven, while nymphs feed on a wide variety of trees, shrubs, fruits, and grapevines.
  • While it does not attack humans, pets, structures, or homes, heavy infestations can seriously weaken plants, reduce vigor, and sometimes cause dieback.
  • High numbers of lanternflies produce sticky honeydew, which can attract ants, flies, and other insects, while fostering sooty mold that damages the appearance of plants.
