Spotted Lanternflies Are Damaging Your Trees Right Now
Store-bought sprays are not built for spotted lanternfly control, and these pests spread fast once they settle in. They feed on tree sap, weaken hardwoods like maples and oaks, and leave behind a sticky residue that draws mold and other insects. The longer they stay on your property, the more costly the damage becomes.
Here is how Witt handles it, step by step:
- We inspect your property thoroughly to find infestation hotspots on trees, shrubs, patios, and building surfaces.
- We apply professional-grade targeted treatments to the areas where spotted lanternflies gather most.
- We use a specialized formula with a knockdown agent, growth regulator, and controlled-release technology for fast results and lasting protection.
- We treat with an eco-responsible approach that reduces impact on beneficial insects and the surrounding environment.

The Spotted Lanternfly Life Cycle in West Mifflin
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.
