Why Spotted Lanternfly Control Matters in Pittsburgh
Spotted Lanternflies may look harmless, but they cause serious damage to trees, plants, and the overall environment. These invasive pests feed on sap, leaving trees weak and vulnerable to disease, and they excrete a sticky substance that attracts mold and other pests. If left untreated, infestations can spread quickly throughout Pittsburgh, impacting residential yards, parks, and even agricultural industries. Here’s why acting fast and contacting Witt Pest Management is critical:
