Spotted Lanternfly Control in Michigan
The spotted lanternfly is an invasive insect that poses a serious threat to Michigan’s trees, crops, and landscaping. Recognizable by its colorful wings and hopping movements, this pest feeds on over 70 plant species, including grapevines, fruit trees, hardwoods, and ornamentals. Their feeding weakens plants, leaving behind sticky honeydew that encourages mold growth and attracts other pests.
At Parshall Pest Control, we provide specialized spotted lanternfly control services to protect homes, businesses, and agricultural properties. Our trained technicians use safe and effective treatments to reduce infestations, safeguard trees, and prevent further spread. If you suspect lanternfly activity around your property, immediate action is critical to protect Michigan’s environment and your investment.
Why Spotted Lanternflies Are a Problem
Spotted lanternflies are not native to Michigan but have begun spreading from nearby states, threatening agriculture and landscaping. These pests feed in large groups, draining sap from plants and trees. Over time, heavy feeding stresses plants, making them more vulnerable to disease and other pests.
Lanternflies excrete sticky honeydew that coats leaves, patios, cars, and outdoor furniture, leading to mold growth and unsanitary conditions. Large infestations can overwhelm outdoor spaces, making them unusable. For businesses in agriculture, vineyards, or landscaping, spotted lanternflies can cause severe economic losses. Because they spread quickly and have few natural predators, professional pest control is the most effective solution for protecting your property and the environment.
Signs of a Spotted Lanternfly Infestation
You may have spotted lanternflies if you notice:
- Adult lanternflies with gray wings and bright red underwings
- Large groups of insects feeding on tree trunks, vines, or plants
- Sticky honeydew buildup on leaves, outdoor surfaces, and vehicles
- Black sooty mold growth where honeydew accumulates
- Egg masses (mud-like patches) on trees, rocks, or outdoor structures
Identifying infestations early is essential for effective control and to help stop their spread.
