Combating the spotted lantern fly
The township has been proactive in the fight against the invasive lantern fly. Here are several useful links that you can go on to learn more about this invasive pest. There is much more available on the Internet, and we suggest all residents read and learn about the spotted lantern fly.
The past several weeks the township has been using an IPM approach. We have been spraying various tree trunks on town property where the lantern fly has been found. Our DPW supervisor strongly recommends that if you do use the sticky traps to please make sure they are covered properly to avoid killing and harming birds, bats, tree frogs and other useful insects.
