Stop Spotted Lanternflies Before They Take Over Your Property in Washington
Spotted lanternfly control moves fast because the pest does too. These invasive insects feed on tree sap, weaken hardwoods like maples and oaks, and leave behind a sticky residue that draws mold and additional pest activity. In dense neighborhoods where trees and shrubs grow close together, an infestation on one property spreads to the next quickly. Getting treatment scheduled right away is what keeps the damage manageable and the cost from climbing.
Here is how Witt handles spotted lanternfly treatment in Washington:
- A technician inspects your property to locate infestation hotspots on trees, shrubs, patios, and exterior surfaces.
- Targeted, professional-grade treatments are applied directly to high-activity areas for fast knockdown of active lanternflies.
- A specialized formula combining a growth regulator and controlled-release technology is used to provide ongoing residual protection.
- Every application is designed to reduce impact on beneficial insects and the surrounding environment.

The Spotted Lanternfly Life Cycle in Washington
One generation per year, four stages, each with its own window for control
Allegheny County has been under the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture's spotted lanternfly quarantine since 2020. Knowing where this pest is in its life cycle helps determine the most effective time to act.
Newly hatched nymphs are small, black with white spots, and easy to mistake for ticks or spiders. They climb host plants to feed, going through four growth stages before reaching adulthood.
Adults reach their recognizable red-and-black winged form and become the most visible, active stage, often gathering in large numbers on tree trunks and outdoor surfaces.
Adults remain active into fall, feeding heavily and laying mud-covered egg masses on trees, decks, and outdoor surfaces before the first hard freeze ends the season.
Egg masses laid the previous fall survive the winter attached to hard surfaces, ready to hatch again once temperatures rise in spring.
