There was a reporting program (I think with UPenn) and there are certain trees that you can cut down since they lay and feed on specific trees. I'd never even heard of a "Tree-of-Heaven" before lanternflies, though other types of agriculture are affected unfortunately.

      Invasive, they damage native plants, eat native food, have no native predators.
      Their populations grow unchecked, damaging the ecosystem and destroying native insect populations. It’s such a big deal, as a trucker, I have to inspect and send in a report every time I load, unload, or rest in parts of Pa and Nj.
      The fear is, the same environment they’re currently thriving in, exist in several parts of our country, and we don’t want them to invade those regions as well.

    It’s scary to think all it takes is a couple of them latching onto a vehicle and traveling over to idk, say, California or Oregon. Washington state. Other environments where they can thrive with little to no natural predators.
    It’s hard to find a predator for them too.
    They do have predators, but when you introduce them to the region that’s infested, they tend to prefer native prey over the invasive one.
