Getting to Lantern Flies High up on Your Trees

Summer is now Lantern Fly season by us, and they are out in full force ready to kill our baby Sugar Maple tree. Apparently this tree is one of their favorites to infest. Lucky us.
As pretty as they are is also how deadly they are to your tree, so unfortunately you have to get them. We do it by shooting the tree with a a very hard stream of water - that knocks them off the trunk and branches, and then it's stomping time.
