- Officials and scientists in New Jersey are asking for the public's help in fighting back an invasive pest known as the spotted lanternfly that's destroying plants and trees.
"They're not aggressive, They kind of look like pretty cockroaches," Truesdale Nursery'sJanice Keegan said. "They're very colorful, they're pretty but they're flies and they're dangerous to our trees and our plant."
Keegan and the other staff at Truesdale Nursery in Warren Township, New Jersey are following the rules now that Somerset has been added to the New Jersey eight county quarantine zone to try to contain the invasive bug.
They're shaking down trees and inspecting all products that come into the nursery to avoid an infestation.
The State Department of Agriculture is encouraging citizens to go on search and destroy missions.
If you see a spotted lanternfly, you are supposed to kill it, but they're quick, they jump.
