Stop Spotted Lanternflies Before They Take Over Your Yard
Spotted lanternfly control moves fast because the pest does. These invasive insects feed on the sap of maples, oaks, and other hardwoods, leaving trees weakened and covered in a sticky residue that draws mold and additional pests. A small cluster on your property can turn into a full infestation quickly, threatening your trees, shrubs, and outdoor living spaces. Getting a professional out early is the most effective way to protect what you've built.
Here is how Witt handles spotted lanternfly treatment in Wexford:
- A licensed technician inspects your property to locate infestation hotspots on trees, shrubs, patios, and building surfaces.
- A targeted, professional-grade treatment is applied to high-activity areas using a formula that includes a knockdown agent, growth regulator, and controlled-release technology.
- The treatment delivers fast results while a residual barrier works to keep spotted lanternflies from returning.
- Every application is carried out with care to reduce impact on beneficial insects and the surrounding environment.

The Spotted Lanternfly Life Cycle in Wexford
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.
