@Agri no, the USA doesn't, and even if they did it doesn't justify upsetting the ecosystem of animals that did nothing wrong. If that happened it's flat out an act of war and should be treated as such.
Funi Mathonsi Chinese are serpent seed. basically, Satan mated with Lilith who had almond eyes. in eden. some Chinese turn to Yahweh. Rarely. This is all directed by Lucifer scientists. not China initially. These are ancient angels who fell when our solar system was heaven millions of years ago. The lantern fly will reduce food it's all done to enforce Satan's chip. The RFID money chip. Satan told us FOOD is his number1 Trump card.
I live in south eastern Pennsylvania near ground zero. It's bad. They're everywhere in the summer and a lot of people know about it, but not enough. This is a real national emergency that's needs to be solved immediately! If this becomes a political issue it will never be solved and will destroy a huge part of the US economy.
Im sure that infeatation must suck, but America needs to handle the insect brains in our govt and all the parasites of the 1% before we worry about the non-human kind of insects....but help us fix our govt then we will help yall with yalls bug problem...looks like mother nature is just mirroring the republicans approach to government. I say quarantine the entire area to save the rest of the world, most other states are vulnerble to these bugs and best to keep them where they are.
I live in PA. As soon as you pay attention to lantern flies, it will begin to blow your mind how many their really are. Literal armies of them everywhere you walk. Crazy.
As someone who used to work at a nursery/landscaping company a long time ago (like the 90's) even then a lot of the ornamental stuff came from overseas. In fact the guy who owned the place made a point of buying as much as he could American but for some things that got pretty expensive.
I saw him last night at the road with the hippies selling hotdogs. And they was like "dude, check out my new stone, awesooooommmmeeee. I'll name him Patrick".
It's all good the cooperate money grabbers made a fortune on the import, and then they'll tax the shit out of the working man to fix their fuck up, while they zip million dollar drinks on private islands.
@Norris Jinglewilly Are you saying someone deserves something just because of where they live? The Chinese guy that made my drill did a good job at a fair price and he deserves my money just the same as anyone else that makes a product I need or want. The global economy has been around for thousands of years, you need to accept it.
We're going to have to burn Philadelphia down to the ground and all of its citizens are going to have to move to other state. We just have to realize that the state of Pennsylvania is doomed it's time for everyone to abort
I go to Penn State Berks and did a project where we scraped trees for a local school. Every year we scrape and tape trees to try and lessen the impact. If everyone does it, we may be able to contain the issue. Unfortunately, alot of people aren't educated on it. Great thing that this video is out. 👍
That's great but only for the people that Get the video. If yout not somehow connected to someone who's involved with landscaping, horticulture, etc. your not going to get the info or the SERIOUSNESS of the situation. Our local news had a 'blip' about the LF one day but it wasn't anything that would really Alarm people. The video needs put on 60 Minutes, The weekday morning news shows or somewhere it'll get Nat'l press! This is TOO SERIOUS!!!
Yeah well you come here and scrape our 150 acres. Or what about the fruit orchards over the hill from us where we get a lot of our precious and delicious seasonal fruit? Who's going to take care of that mess??? So now we have to be responsible for somebody else's stupidity! Thanks
I live in the area heavily affected by the Spotted Lanternfly and it is just crazy. My part of the county didn't get hit really bad until late last summer but once it did it was like a carpet of Lanternflies in some places.
brandchan, that sucks! I sure hope PA manages to control it. That was super bad luck for the state. They sure couldn't have planned their budget with this in mind. 😟
Get one of those brush burner things you can hook up to propane tanks and light those fuckers up (assuming conditions permit the safe use of such an open flame). Everybody can do their part and slaughter some bugs!! SERVICE GUARANTEES CITIZENSHIP!
Same like coqui frogs here. Loud frogs. They just make noise but it lowers property value and is annoying af. Imagine tons of loud birds active during the night
that guy I agree! I have seen people kill hornet nests with flame torches and hold it on the nest for several minutes at a time, but harming the tree. Sock down the trees with water or hit the flies after a good rain.
I live in Pennsylvania and do landscape work, the man Albert in this video approached me years ago and asked if I ever seen one? Fast forward three years and holy shit these things are no joke killing trees. Hordes of tens of thousands in trees in areas. This is bad! Someone smart figure it out
I went to a press conference in bucks county when these were first introduced five years ago. The speaker was saying that farmers would have to stop exporting and importing their products in order to stop the spread of the lantern flies and a bunch of the farmers got super pissed and said they would keep doing their business. And now my state is fucked lol
The farmers can’t just go broke and lose their homes... this was an instance where the government needed to intervene quickly with massive force. Unfortunately most of the $20m they spent last year was on “research”. The feds should have come in right from the start with $100m or whatever it took to eliminate them with boots on the ground, before they spread. You can’t just expect the local farmers to shut down everything and go broke for the benefit of the country - our tax dollars are supposed to be used for exactly this type of emergency.
Farmers are thinking sith greed i this scenario. Avoid quarantine areas, as it will hit your bottom line heavier, and just deal with growing and harvesting at a distance from ground zero. Greedy tards
Haitian Refugee Elon musk spent about 600 million to send a car into space if he was even nearly as smart as people give this douchebag credit for he would have done something of importance with that money like I don't know ummm help people in poverty ect. ect... Shit with that kind of money he could have fixed this bug problem before it became what it is now.
If the trees are that covered, it seems like a high power shop vac could heavily reduce the population. not wipe them out but maybe take 70-80% of them away and in conjunction with other methods might help slow the spread of them.
My first impulse is diluted dish detergent, that will drown any insect without toxic hazard, just a big squirt of detergent in a gallon of water sprayed heavy will clear up a large tree I'm fairly sure and the dead bugs will make excellent fertilizer.
Even better a Wet/Dry Vacuum with Rubbing Alcohol filled halfway. Make sure ya get them all wet after your done with each tree. Make sure to get a Backpack Wet/Dry Vacuum!
@@VRtechman Better not use any flammable liquids with a vacuum cleaner as the motor will detonate the fumes in the can with potentially lethal consequences.
If they’re being seen out in New York but no sizeable populations are present isn’t it possible there’s some predator over there that kills them? Like a bird that’s native to New York and not Pennsylvania
They mentioned Virginia too, but I know we have a ton of praying mantises here so that might be what's keeping them at bay. Idk why they aren't already in PA or why it could be harmful to introduce them since they already live so close, but I'm sure if it came to it praying mantises could at least stem the tide.
They are known to be established in New Jersey, Delaware, and Virginia, and in each of those locations, they're spreading. It took them awhile to get going where they got their first toehold, in a corner of Berks County.
@@MrMattumbo Probably the fruit farms used too much pesticide. Lack of pest insects meant equally lacking of predators such as praying mantis or wasp. Then again if pesticide is already used, do they worked on the spotted lanternfly? I don't know enough about the farming practise there. Also predators such as chicken mentioned ignoring the spotted lanternfly, could also have easier preys to feed on. The spotted lanternfly shown in this video are high up the trees, but do chicken wants to "fly" up the tree?
As far as I am aware only two have been found in NY so it's possible but unlikely they have taken hold here yet. When it comes to birds Pennsylvania and NY are going to have pretty much the same species except for maybe up in the Adirondacks or by the ocean around Long Island. If we can find a wasp that parasitises them in the wild like we have found with the brown marmorated stink bug we might be able to hold them back but once they take hold in other states they will be unstoppable.
@Stoney Vision Your not wrong. Research into why nothing kills these things shows that they might be really toxic to eat. Hence why they have no predators in the US.
Not true, they have a lot in Hunterdon county, which is where I work, but I live in Somerset county and they aren’t everywhere but they are starting to pop up. I just say my first two at my house just this weekend and killed them both.
I live in NJ and found one outside of my house yesterday. They are such a beautiful species when they reach adulthood, it’s a shame they are so harmful to our trees :(
Get a man in a fireproof soft suit, get a truck with a 300 gallon propane tank, make a nozzle that releases a 5 foot plume before igniting it. Aim at center of tree, pull trigger. Will do negligible damage to the tree and burn the wings off of every bug on it. ~750-800 uses per tank Get enough to cover the perimeter of the outbreak and you'll have enough for continuous scale backs as you work inward. A dutiful education campaign may get enough of the public involved that they might be able to keep the remnants from firing back up. At some point you have to look at real losses and say "If it cost less than this it's worth it.".
That would require lots of laborers getting paid a reasonable wage, with no way to skim large profits off the top. The government would rather let the population get out of control, then hire a couple planes to dump massive amount of expensive poison. That way only a few pilots need to be paid, and the company who owns the poison making machinery gets a massive profit, and then they can roll the kickbacks into politicians pockets. Who cares about the damage it causes to the environment, they’re tryna GET PAID!
@@TheWallsocket Yup, that's why people need to stop dropping to their knees and raising beggars hands to the government for salvation. Everything you put the government in charge of will end terribly.
The fucking government spent 20 million dollars. One more time. The government spent 20 million dollars. On nothing. I’d prefer we eradicate the government before those moths. Each year we waste about a trillion dollars on stupid wars. The government is the real problem, the moths are a distraction
Oasia I live in south eastern Pennsylvania about an hour drive from Berks county and in the past year have lost 11 white ash trees around my house due to the Emerald Ash Borer, and over 1/3 of the shrubs due to the Spotted Lantern Fly. It’s really bad in Pennsylvania right now.
Theomite What if the Ash Borer adapts to a different species? And then when we replant, it returns? The end of ash trees may not be the end of the bug. And if as few as 100 of them are still around, we would go right back into the danger zone. Also, there are way too many ash trees for that to be practical.
I live in a county in PA. Spotted lanternflies as I can tell, have come back every year with greater numbers. It’s sad to know that this bug could ruin business and I think of that each time I kill one of the bugs
Exactly...dumb ass bill clinton is the one who signed the specific NAFTA which promoted asian countries to FLOOD our country with their mass-produced never-heard-of-quality-control JUNK that not only shut down countless of our factories but as shown here has grossly increased the numbers of invasive species causing havok on our agriculture. Me and wife are on Social Security Disability and so only get a small check each month whereby literally counting pennies on everything we buy but yet we will EASILY hold off on buying china made disposable junk in order to save up some more money for another month in order to buy American made that we KNOW will last 10 times longer without having to pay 10 times more money and we're supporting our own economy instead of putting BILLIONS upon BILLIONS of dollars in theirs!
@@T1Oracle Hey trophy-winning doofus, I never said or implied anywhere for how no one in the USA should own anything from china..I made it clear how bill clinton signed "NAFTA which promoted asian countries to FLOOD our country with their mass produced JUNK" and so far my ASUS Z-97A mother board in my pc is working good but already had to replace the power supply and 2 fans other components made in china because they only lasted a couple weeks
They could do smoke fumigation like they do here in Florida for mosquitoes just go and smoke and tire areas yeah it may kill some other things but at least you kill the moths
I wonder if one solution could be to try and raise a population of local predatory insects to eat these. Like try to breed them in captivity and mainly feed them these invasive bugs. Maybe they'll develope a taste for the bugs. Then release them into the wild.
They have aposematic coloring, which tells predators to stay away because of toxins or a bitter taste. They have natural predators in China--parasitic wasps--but we can't just introduce a new invasive species.
They said the Praying Mantis is a natural predator, but they're hesitant to introduce large numbers of Mantis. Maybe they're afraid that the beneficial insects would suffer too. But at this rate, I think I would be willing to increase the numbers of Mantis at least on a small scale. Especially in areas where the LF is really bad.
I remember the summer when these things first started popping up, I live in Berks County and you would see buildings literally blanketed in these things. Everyone makes it a point to kill them on sight, but they're really evasive. They'll sit there like they don't know what's going on and then jump away right as you're about to step on it. Horrid creatures
I went to Pennsylvania for the first time the other day and I was just shocked seeing how many of these lantern flies were there. In the place I was at, there were a couple trees that they had wrapped in sticky tape and it was covered top to bottom in lantern flies and they were all over the base of the tree. It was just crazy.
This video was made 3 yrs ago. 3 yrs later, today, NYC and NJ are literally covered by billions of these bugs, especially during spring and fall. Sidewalks are covered by a full layer of dead spotted lantern fly corpses since they have relatively short lifespan.
Nappamon agreed it was already done with mosquitoes but people said it was unethical to release them, hopefully your idea actually happens and people agree
@@jacksparrow-kj2qq those mosquitoes weren't an invasive species that were destroying industries as well as environments. Even though they spread deadly diseases in Africa, they are still an important part of the ecosystem. Only reason people wouldn't want to do this is 'what if a few of these insects somehow made it back to China.'
Nappamon You’re right, it’s the best way to eliminate them. It’s either that or introduce a predator or chemicals. I’m pretty sure the one to cause the least amount of trouble is to make them infertile. Good call, they should honestly have just put you in charge of this XD, idk if their “research” will be as fruitful.

This is a problem that needs an immediate and impactful reaction ( like maybe temporary use of some restricted pesticides ) scraping trees with a pocket knife is like trying to put out a forest fire with a squirt gun.
I live in York, Pa. & must have 100,00 Lanternfly nymphs on my trees (6 oak, 1 sycamore, 1 tulip poplar, 1 blue spruce & 15 maple). My back yard is adjacent to another property with 75 trees. These insects are everywhere. My neighbors do nothing while I have wrapped 3" wide Gorilla Tape 2 & 3 rings around each of my trees (sticky side out) several times now. Also, have sprayed 3 times around the base of each tree using "Complete Insect Killer" by Bio Advance recommended via Penn State. The advice saying to squash them (which I do too) is bullsh-t as it is impossible to address this many insects. Also, the netting idea has to be 360 degrees around the trunk to be effective. IT'S A FRICKIN NIGHTMARE!!! The contractor or landowner in Pa. who imported the load of stones from China which had these eggs should be tared & feathered & pay for 100's of millions of dollars to address this nightmare. The State & Federal governments also need a major kick in the ass to allow material from China to ever be imported into this country. Stink bugs, tiger mosquitoes, ash borers, murder hornets, Asian carp, snakehead fish & now Lanternfly bugs all came from the Far East (mostly China). The USA gives money, business and high tech to China while they send us cheap goods & invasive species!! What a frickin bargain!!!
@BWM this is hardly is widely known as you make it out to be. There arent even any viral videos on it or news coverage other than locally. This RUclips video has the most views on this subject and its only at 120k which is barely anything. I have even asked co workers and they have no idea what these bugs are so how about you stfu before you criticize. I doubt you know about invasive species in other state/countries.
I can’t stand them they are in my city and annoying have to keep our windows closed and even plastic them to prevent them from trying to breed in our homes aswell
You are correct...pestilence is becoming evident to all gardeners everywhere, scourges the likes no one has ever seen before...but perhaps Pharaoh Ramses II during the Exodus!!
Bless be Yahawah, He is coming back for the true Israelites to put us back in our land. And soon the day of Yahawah. A very dark day. Get all these liars, deceivers, and wicked out of here.

I saw a few in my back yard yesterday and killed them, then the today I decided to investigate and it's in all my neighbors backyard smh we're doomed we need help. They're in it's early stage black n white spots and hopping everywhere
Can confirm they are still all over Chester County. They seem to vanish when the weather gets cool and then reemerge when it gets hot again. Nymphs show up around mid-July. Saw them for the first time last summer, now every day I squash about a dozen per hour on the balcony.
We live in Chadds Ford PA. We have had them in our area for two years now. They were popping up on my grape Vines. Over the summer I would go out every day and vacuum them up by the hundreds. This is a very serious problem.
I live in south western PA and we've been infested with them. We have wild grape vines on our property and they love feasting on it. Its unmanageable to remove the grape vines which are over 10" in diameter in some places. In the spring there were thousands of them just crawling all over the vines.
Livereater00 what happens after that bird population eats them all and then becomes too big and starts eating other organisms vital to Pennsylvania’s ecosystem?
That can be bad. We've done things like that before (can't think off hand of an example) but then the natural predator can become "invasive" & it turns into a vicous (bad) cycle.

ArchAngel, I admit this didn't occur to me, but you've made an excellent point. The US is certainly capable of producing all the paving stones we'd ever need.
DrKate L. the 0.1% aren’t satisfied with domestic paving stone, they want it to be imported and cost more so they can brag it up. Like granite countertops or old-growth rainforest hardwood floors it’s just another piece of conspicuous consumption.
That's not even the worst part. The government is spending $20 million to help stop this problem. I bet all those corporations will insist that they are solely responsible for their own success and try to keep congress from increasing taxes.
i used to work in reading PA and they were EVERYWHERE. you would see people walking around with flyswatters and bug spray. you would see the corpses of these bugs littered everywhere. These bugs are disgusting.
Add it to the list. They kind of remind me of those damn tent worms that we have in Michigan; they'll strip a tree bare of its leaves in no time. I have seen literal swarms of tent worms on the road....it was like someone decided to lay out a large, wiggling, carpet for miles on the road.
I wonder if in some other dimension the worms see humans like you see them? Holds everyone accountable. God created humans? Look at what they're known for? Killing stealing invading sacrificing trillions of babies to Moloch rather than obey the ten commandments? Humans track record isn't exactly great this is why God created plagues to keep humans under control.
The broad being interviewed clearly stated they spent 20 million dollars in research to save an 18 million dollar agricultural industry for the area. With no actual preventive measures being taken ten-to-one that 20 million dollars ended up in a bunch of politicians pockets
You know it! Pennsylvania is one of the MOST corrupt states in the country, just behind . . . every other democrat run state( plenty of Republican states playing catch up, though)
I’ve killed hundreds by now, and I’m not even exaggerating. Like, I have maple trees in my yard and there are thousands on every individual tree. I’ve been scraping eggs, spraying them with pesticides, and just getting sticks, pushing them to the ground, and stepping on them. It feels like no matter what I do they just keep coming back and even getting worse.
@@brandchan I don't mean that some random goes to lit it up but that the fire is monitored and if it moves the wrong way firemen will come extinguish it.
Lauri Inki I have been scraping eggs off my trees and shrubbery around my house, trying to do my part, but if I used a blowtorch I think there would be too much risk of burning getting out of control, plus it would likely kill the plants.
@@lauriinki9694 I get what you are talking about but I don't think you understand how bad the scale of this is. I live in Berks their eggs cover hundreds if not thousands of trees. And not only trees but the sides of homes. I highly doubt anyone wants a controlled burn on the side of their house. Also, the eggs hatch because of heat so if done wrong it could negate the help it would be doing.
Me and the wife have been killing every lantern fly we see on our property daily. It’s about 100 a day……using an electric flyswatter. It has become a game for us.
The praying mantis was naturally living in all these lantern bug infested areas for many years in the past but pollution and habitat destruction has destroyed those once abundant populations. I live in NJ and now I am 65. When I was in my 20s the praying mantis was very common in the tri-state area. Now if you see one a year, you are lucky. If they are reintroduced here, that would not only help to restore numbers back to where they belong, it would surely help get rid of many lantern flies because it has already been shown that the praying mantis will eat them. We are also being overrun by stink bugs, another "gift" from China.
Scraping the eggs off trees in the spring seems time-consuming and ineffective. Why not spray the eggs with a glue of some kind that would prevent the eggs from hatching, not damage the tree, and could be applied very quickly. Maybe 100 trees an hour could be treated this way.
I've literally never seen them in my life. Until about a month ago. And holy shit, they're everywhere. I went to a local state park and I must've killed at least 30 of them, and I wasn't even actively searching them out. I was just trying to relax in the grass and they just kept walking up to me! One got into my house. I see them in grocery store plazas. They're at my work. They're in my backyard. It's literally insane. Never have I ever seen a single one in all my life until last month and now I just can't stop seeing them!
As a Berks county resident these spotted lantern flies are terrible. I was mowing the grass the other day and got rained on by honeydew. These lantern flies are so annoying. These insects are killing tree of heaven, white birch, sycamore, and maple on my property. To make matters worse, the stink bugs came back bad these year so we are fighting them too right now. On top of that, Japanese beetles also destroyed many of my trees and lawn over the summer. What's next a giant meteor?
In what ratio? I need solutions! They started in my neighbor's gardens (a master gardener) down the block and before I could blink, they are now in my gardens, both front and back of my home!
@@beckijameson3844 I was told 20 to 1water to soap works, but I'd go a little more soap. Thing is, another customer _later_ told me it works on the smaller ones, but not the adults ( with the gray ), so let us know how it works for you. I haven't experimented yet, as I'm busy with work during the day.
Whats being done? We’ve spent over 20million dollars on research, just wrap your head around that statement, wonder who got that money, or better yet, where did that money come from...
Been saying the same thing. The Department of Agriculture wants us to pay to kill them on our own property while they get millions to do nothing but study them. Now they spread to others states because lantern flys do not obey quarantines. SMH
My husband is an over the road driver and works for Tyson Foods and he had to actually take a test on these bugs.Tyson had a few plants in PA. Also, in order to go to these plants, had to put a sticker that is on his truck, that he had been educated about this pest and that any police officer or DOT (department of transportation) can stop him at any time and quiz him about his knowledge on these. (only in PA) If he can't answer these questions, he could get a serious fine! That's how serious this insect is. He goes to every state in the lower 50 states and as you heard they can lay eggs everywhere. If you pick up in these area's, Then they want you to get a flash light and through look under the trailers and into the tires on the trailer and yes kill all that you find. One thing this video didn't bring up is the stages of what the insect looks likes after hatching and becoming an adult. First they are green and tiny. Then, they look kind of like a ladybug, both forms are really hard to see. You can see how this could infect the entire country fast! So, if you ever are in these parts of the country, just look on your vehicle and etc. We were even told to check the outside of the truck even if you don't stay in the areas. That's how fast they can sneak on things and even asked to look inside your truck in case one flies in. Scary stuff huh? P.S. I was traveling with him when this all came out on the computers, so I was educated as well.
I just hate the idea of chemicals.It seems the older I get the more sensitive I am to everything.I don't know I suppose sometimes a tactical attack with chemicals might be a better solution than starving??

I have an old brown bottle of it in my garage.I'm not sure how to dispose of it but the spiders stay away from it lol.I'm in Montana .I killed some ants with some dicautomous (sp) earth and screwed up the whole ecosystem in my yard.I had a BAD aphid problem in my trees after that.I thought it would be fine because its natural but it kills bees and anything with an exoskeleton.Finally 3 years later its back to normal.Sheesh.
@@twistedthrifterb6220 I agree with your thoughts on poison I have always said it would kill all of us long before we kill all the pests. I grow most my veggies and fruit when it's in season But I as most people do occasionally have to rely on the grocery store. I personally don't worry to much about GMOs for food because of how the body processes it but I do worry about the pollen spreading to non GMO heirloom plants and contaminating them the same way. These bugs are going to mess up the ecosystem badly. It will take a state level program to control these things. It will take sterile laternflys being released. Airial spraying and people doing their part to kill these things. Realistically its probably already to late, the reason why I say this is I am in California and in my youth the "ash whitefly" was brought to California and it distroys fruit trees and shade trees much the same way the l laternfly does, we control it but we have never eradicated it and the professionals call it a success, I think that is only a half-truth, controlling it is definitely good but it is far from eradication. Side note I don't Montana environmental laws but here in southern California there is free hazardous waste drop off facilities. Come to find out mine are at the dumps and at dump transfer stations and only open Saturday for a few hours in the AM. Google "hazardous waste disposal near me" that is how I found our facility.
Zoey Nobody maybe you should have several seats. Many inventions were made out of desperation. Gardeners are concocting natural ways in which to kill these things, all out of observation and desperation. And you sit here and defend some pseudoscience. ✌🏽👋
i know people have already said this, but sheesh they are everywhere! I live in Pennsylvania pretty close to Berks County, and have personally committed a genocide on lanternflies last year with my friends using sticks lol. they cover the tree like crazy and later on, don't be expecting that tree to be producing leaves anymore 😢. plus it's literally impossible to kill them
A shipment of paving stones? I don't think it's the paving stone themselves. But I'm betting that it's the wooden crates the paving stones were packed in. I understand that any wooden packing material must have the bark removed (and sometimes fumigated) to enter the U.S. So I'm guessing that the wooden crates and pallets had some bark remaining and the bark had eggs on it.
We always talk about invasive species that end up in the U.S I'm curious if there have been cases of U.S/North American species that have ended up in other parts of the world.
The Chinese have begun their attack
It wouldn't surprise me if the Chinese were trying to wreck the American ecosystem.

Im sure that infeatation must suck, but America needs to handle the insect brains in our govt and all the parasites of the 1% before we worry about the non-human kind of insects....but help us fix our govt then we will help yall with yalls bug problem...looks like mother nature is just mirroring the republicans approach to government.

Alright, whose the wise guy that ordered the landscaping rocks from China?
some billionaire with a home in New Zealand for when the US falls apart.
As someone who used to work at a nursery/landscaping company a long time ago (like the 90's) even then a lot of the ornamental stuff came from overseas. In fact the guy who owned the place made a point of buying as much as he could American but for some things that got pretty expensive.

That's great but only for the people that Get the video. If yout not somehow connected to someone who's involved with landscaping, horticulture, etc. your not going to get the info or the SERIOUSNESS of the situation. Our local news had a 'blip' about the LF one day but it wasn't anything that would really Alarm people. The video needs put on 60 Minutes, The weekday morning news shows or somewhere it'll get Nat'l press! This is TOO SERIOUS!!!

I went to a press conference in bucks county when these were first introduced five years ago. The speaker was saying that farmers would have to stop exporting and importing their products in order to stop the spread of the lantern flies and a bunch of the farmers got super pissed and said they would keep doing their business. And now my state is fucked lol
What a bunch of retards.
The farmers can’t just go broke and lose their homes... this was an instance where the government needed to intervene quickly with massive force. Unfortunately most of the $20m they spent last year was on “research”. The feds should have come in right from the start with $100m or whatever it took to eliminate them with boots on the ground, before they spread. You can’t just expect the local farmers to shut down everything and go broke for the benefit of the country - our tax dollars are supposed to be used for exactly this type of emergency.
So why are you laughing out loud? This could be devastating - aren't you taking this seriously?
Mary Poppins no bitch, we don’t care, and some of us dream about feeding you our hot shit
Farmers are thinking sith greed i this scenario. Avoid quarantine areas, as it will hit your bottom line heavier, and just deal with growing and harvesting at a distance from ground zero. Greedy tards

Shit with that kind of money he could have fixed this bug problem before it became what it is now.
Musk's "flamethrower" is a roofing torch in a NERF gun.
If the trees are that covered, it seems like a high power shop vac could heavily reduce the population. not wipe them out but maybe take 70-80% of them away and in conjunction with other methods might help slow the spread of them.
And if you see the adults, pull out a shop vac.
I know right. Better than using pesticides
My first impulse is diluted dish detergent, that will drown any insect without toxic hazard, just a big squirt of detergent in a gallon of water sprayed heavy will clear up a large tree I'm fairly sure and the dead bugs will make excellent fertilizer.
That's what I thought when looking at them... Bet it would work too however mgmt wing think of that with all the research
Even better a Wet/Dry Vacuum with Rubbing Alcohol filled halfway.
Make sure ya get them all wet after your done with each tree.

ALRIGHT FELLOW PENNSYLVANIANS TIME TO GO BUG HUNTING!

I guess they would be a cool insect collection 🐞
If they’re being seen out in New York but no sizeable populations are present isn’t it possible there’s some predator over there that kills them? Like a bird that’s native to New York and not Pennsylvania
They mentioned Virginia too, but I know we have a ton of praying mantises here so that might be what's keeping them at bay. Idk why they aren't already in PA or why it could be harmful to introduce them since they already live so close, but I'm sure if it came to it praying mantises could at least stem the tide.
They are known to be established in New Jersey, Delaware, and Virginia, and in each of those locations, they're spreading. It took them awhile to get going where they got their first toehold, in a corner of Berks County.
@@MrMattumbo
Probably the fruit farms used too much pesticide. Lack of pest insects meant equally lacking of predators such as praying mantis or wasp. Then again if pesticide is already used, do they worked on the spotted lanternfly? I don't know enough about the farming practise there.
Also predators such as chicken mentioned ignoring the spotted lanternfly, could also have easier preys to feed on. The spotted lanternfly shown in this video are high up the trees, but do chicken wants to "fly" up the tree?
As far as I am aware only two have been found in NY so it's possible but unlikely they have taken hold here yet. When it comes to birds Pennsylvania and NY are going to have pretty much the same species except for maybe up in the Adirondacks or by the ocean around Long Island. If we can find a wasp that parasitises them in the wild like we have found with the brown marmorated stink bug we might be able to hold them back but once they take hold in other states they will be unstoppable.
@@jackchang5548 I wonder if the bug doesn't give off a pheromone or something that makes the chickens cautious of eating it.
Update: they are all over new jersey now. Too many to kill
WELP.
NOO
They also have the corona
@Stoney Vision Your not wrong. Research into why nothing kills these things shows that they might be really toxic to eat. Hence why they have no predators in the US.
Not true, they have a lot in Hunterdon county, which is where I work, but I live in Somerset county and they aren’t everywhere but they are starting to pop up. I just say my first two at my house just this weekend and killed them both.
They’re prob goin to have to start spraying for them then killing a bunch of useful bugs. Either way it’s goin to be bad.
I'll be on the lookout in Ohio. If I find any, they're going down
😂😂
Southwestern Pennsylvania here!...hopefully we'll knock them out before they get there!
I live in NJ and found one outside of my house yesterday. They are such a beautiful species when they reach adulthood, it’s a shame they are so harmful to our trees :(
Get a man in a fireproof soft suit, get a truck with a 300 gallon propane tank, make a nozzle that releases a 5 foot plume before igniting it. Aim at center of tree, pull trigger.
Will do negligible damage to the tree and burn the wings off of every bug on it. ~750-800 uses per tank
Get enough to cover the perimeter of the outbreak and you'll have enough for continuous scale backs as you work inward.
A dutiful education campaign may get enough of the public involved that they might be able to keep the remnants from firing back up.
At some point you have to look at real losses and say "If it cost less than this it's worth it.".
That would require lots of laborers getting paid a reasonable wage, with no way to skim large profits off the top.
The government would rather let the population get out of control, then hire a couple planes to dump massive amount of expensive poison. That way only a few pilots need to be paid, and the company who owns the poison making machinery gets a massive profit, and then they can roll the kickbacks into politicians pockets. Who cares about the damage it causes to the environment, they’re tryna GET PAID!

What about Ash Bore? It will destroy an entire species of tree in the mid west in like 10-15 years
Oasia I live in south eastern Pennsylvania about an hour drive from Berks county and in the past year have lost 11 white ash trees around my house due to the Emerald Ash Borer, and over 1/3 of the shrubs due to the Spotted Lantern Fly. It’s really bad in Pennsylvania right now.
Oasia Yes,,, the emerald Ashe borer is a big threat out here
Collect as many seeds as possible and wait for the tree to die and the Ash Bore to die with it. Then replant.
Theomite What if the Ash Borer adapts to a different species? And then when we replant, it returns? The end of ash trees may not be the end of the bug. And if as few as 100 of them are still around, we would go right back into the danger zone.
Also, there are way too many ash trees for that to be practical.

I wonder if one solution could be to try and raise a population of local predatory insects to eat these. Like try to breed them in captivity and mainly feed them these invasive bugs. Maybe they'll develope a taste for the bugs. Then release them into the wild.
Bats
They have aposematic coloring, which tells predators to stay away because of toxins or a bitter taste. They have natural predators in China--parasitic wasps--but we can't just introduce a new invasive species.
They said the Praying Mantis is a natural predator, but they're hesitant to introduce large numbers of Mantis. Maybe they're afraid that the beneficial insects would suffer too. But at this rate, I think I would be willing to increase the numbers of Mantis at least on a small scale. Especially in areas where the LF is really bad.
I remember the summer when these things first started popping up, I live in Berks County and you would see buildings literally blanketed in these things. Everyone makes it a point to kill them on sight, but they're really evasive. They'll sit there like they don't know what's going on and then jump away right as you're about to step on it. Horrid creatures
I went to Pennsylvania for the first time the other day and I was just shocked seeing how many of these lantern flies were there. In the place I was at, there were a couple trees that they had wrapped in sticky tape and it was covered top to bottom in lantern flies and they were all over the base of the tree. It was just crazy.
My bf talked to one or the locals who was a hunter and he said that they were killing trees left and right and his crops were getting messed up
The emerald ash borer has done a lot of damage also. Do not bring wood from your area to go camping. Always buy firewood locally to your campsite.

DrKate L. the 0.1% aren’t satisfied with domestic paving stone, they want it to be imported and cost more so they can brag it up. Like granite countertops or old-growth rainforest hardwood floors it’s just another piece of conspicuous consumption.
That's not even the worst part. The government is spending $20 million to help stop this problem. I bet all those corporations will insist that they are solely responsible for their own success and try to keep congress from increasing taxes.
@ArchAngel EXACTLY!!!
Asia the gift that keep on giving.
i used to work in reading PA and they were EVERYWHERE. you would see people walking around with flyswatters and bug spray. you would see the corpses of these bugs littered everywhere. These bugs are disgusting.
Add it to the list.
They kind of remind me of those damn tent worms that we have in Michigan; they'll strip a tree bare of its leaves in no time. I have seen literal swarms of tent worms on the road....it was like someone decided to lay out a large, wiggling, carpet for miles on the road.
I wonder if in some other dimension the worms see humans like you see them? Holds everyone accountable. God created humans? Look at what they're known for? Killing stealing invading sacrificing trillions of babies to Moloch rather than obey the ten commandments? Humans track record isn't exactly great this is why God created plagues to keep humans under control.
The broad being interviewed clearly stated they spent 20 million dollars in research to save an 18 million dollar agricultural industry for the area. With no actual preventive measures being taken ten-to-one that 20 million dollars ended up in a bunch of politicians pockets
You know it! Pennsylvania is one of the MOST corrupt states in the country, just behind . . . every other democrat run state( plenty of Republican states playing catch up, though)
*spotted lanternfly appears*
BURN IT WITH FIRE!!!
What ever ALL DAY,, EVERY DAY!!!!
not sure where these guys went, but we didn't see a single one this summer in the northeast. 2 years ago, every surface was covered with them.
I watch these videos so whenever I see an invasive bug I'll stomp them
good job dude
Good luck, your gonna need more than 2 feet to take out the infestations of these fuckers
They jump too fast and too high, can’t reach 😓
I’m in New Jersey and they’re taking over here too
I’ve killed hundreds by now, and I’m not even exaggerating. Like, I have maple trees in my yard and there are thousands on every individual tree. I’ve been scraping eggs, spraying them with pesticides, and just getting sticks, pushing them to the ground, and stepping on them. It feels like no matter what I do they just keep coming back and even getting worse.
I think the easy solution to eliminate them is to go by the time the eggs haven't hatched and use blowtorches.
And that's how we get forest fires.
Yeah, except they next in trees.
@@brandchan I don't mean that some random goes to lit it up but that the fire is monitored and if it moves the wrong way firemen will come extinguish it.
Lauri Inki I have been scraping eggs off my trees and shrubbery around my house, trying to do my part, but if I used a blowtorch I think there would be too much risk of burning getting out of control, plus it would likely kill the plants.
@@lauriinki9694 I get what you are talking about but I don't think you understand how bad the scale of this is. I live in Berks their eggs cover hundreds if not thousands of trees. And not only trees but the sides of homes. I highly doubt anyone wants a controlled burn on the side of their house. Also, the eggs hatch because of heat so if done wrong it could negate the help it would be doing.
Hey this has happened in Florida as well. We have barely any Orange trees left.
Fixyourowncredit.dontbescammed Oh shit....this is not good. This is an attack.
No kidding right. How did a some bugs get out control
Me and the wife have been killing every lantern fly we see on our property daily. It’s about 100 a day……using an electric flyswatter. It has become a game for us.
The praying mantis was naturally living in all these lantern bug infested areas for many years in the past but pollution and habitat destruction has destroyed those once abundant populations. I live in NJ and now I am 65. When I was in my 20s the praying mantis was very common in the tri-state area. Now if you see one a year, you are lucky. If they are reintroduced here, that would not only help to restore numbers back to where they belong, it would surely help get rid of many lantern flies because it has already been shown that the praying mantis will eat them. We are also being overrun by stink bugs, another "gift" from China.
And where do you get all these praying mantises from?
Yep exactly. PA used to have tons of praying mantis. I remember seeing a few as a kid but now there are literally none around here anymore.
@@paulsawczyc5019 Google!
Gotta be careful with that approach lest you end up with a Cane Toad problem.
@@NinjaRunningWild Your statement makes no sense at all. What do cane toads have to do with praying mantids???
Scraping the eggs off trees in the spring seems time-consuming and ineffective. Why not
spray the eggs with a glue of some kind that would prevent the eggs from hatching, not damage
the tree, and could be applied very quickly. Maybe 100 trees an hour could be treated this way.
This is the second evasive species that was first spotted in Berkshire country Pa. Let’s investigate why this is going unchecked
What was the worst invasive species in the last 151 years?
I've literally never seen them in my life. Until about a month ago. And holy shit, they're everywhere. I went to a local state park and I must've killed at least 30 of them, and I wasn't even actively searching them out. I was just trying to relax in the grass and they just kept walking up to me! One got into my house. I see them in grocery store plazas. They're at my work. They're in my backyard. It's literally insane. Never have I ever seen a single one in all my life until last month and now I just can't stop seeing them!
😮 They are a unseen site. Today I see billions all over my tree
As a Berks county resident these spotted lantern flies are terrible. I was mowing the grass the other day and got rained on by honeydew. These lantern flies are so annoying. These insects are killing tree of heaven, white birch, sycamore, and maple on my property. To make matters worse, the stink bugs came back bad these year so we are fighting them too right now. On top of that, Japanese beetles also destroyed many of my trees and lawn over the summer. What's next a giant meteor?
I AM TOLD SPRAYING DISH SOAP AND WATER ON THEM WORKS. PASS IT ON.
In what ratio? I need solutions! They started in my neighbor's gardens (a master gardener) down the block and before I could blink, they are now in my gardens, both front and back of my home!
@@beckijameson3844 I was told 20 to 1water to soap works, but I'd go a little more soap. Thing is, another customer _later_ told me it works on the smaller ones, but not the adults ( with the gray ), so let us know how it works for you. I haven't experimented yet, as I'm busy with work during the day.
Kodiak Wild dawn dish detergent to be precise.
It does
Whats being done? We’ve spent over 20million dollars on research, just wrap your head around that statement, wonder who got that money, or better yet, where did that money come from...
Been saying the same thing. The Department of Agriculture wants us to pay to kill them on our own property while they get millions to do nothing but study them. Now they spread to others states because lantern flys do not obey quarantines. SMH
My husband is an over the road driver and works for Tyson Foods and he had to actually take a test on these bugs.Tyson had a few plants in PA. Also, in order to go to these plants, had to put a sticker that is on his truck, that he had been educated about this pest and that any police officer or DOT (department of transportation) can stop him at any time and quiz him about his knowledge on these. (only in PA) If he can't answer these questions, he could get a serious fine! That's how serious this insect is. He goes to every state in the lower 50 states and as you heard they can lay eggs everywhere. If you pick up in these area's, Then they want you to get a flash light and through look under the trailers and into the tires on the trailer and yes kill all that you find. One thing this video didn't bring up is the stages of what the insect looks likes after hatching and becoming an adult. First they are green and tiny. Then, they look kind of like a ladybug, both forms are really hard to see. You can see how this could infect the entire country fast! So, if you ever are in these parts of the country, just look on your vehicle and etc. We were even told to check the outside of the truck even if you don't stay in the areas. That's how fast they can sneak on things and even asked to look inside your truck in case one flies in. Scary stuff huh? P.S. I was traveling with him when this all came out on the computers, so I was educated as well.
malathion poison time...
To bad chlordane was bad for us and the environment I recall it working pretty well for pest control.
No!!
@@twistedthrifterb6220 no to chlordane, mealathion, or all poisons?
I just hate the idea of chemicals.It seems the older I get the more sensitive I am to everything.I don't know I suppose sometimes a tactical attack with chemicals might be a better solution than starving?? We eat GMO food and Roundup in everything.Its just sad the state of the world.The flooding in the middle of our farm belt is going to have a devastating impact on Americans.No one is really talking about it but we are screwed no matter what we do.God Bless.We are living in prophecy.
I have an old brown bottle of it in my garage.I'm not sure how to dispose of it but the spiders stay away from it lol.I'm in Montana .I killed some ants with some dicautomous (sp) earth and screwed up the whole ecosystem in my yard.I had a BAD aphid problem in my trees after that.I thought it would be fine because its natural but it kills bees and anything with an exoskeleton.Finally 3 years later its back to normal.Sheesh.
@@twistedthrifterb6220 I agree with your thoughts on poison I have always said it would kill all of us long before we kill all the pests. I grow most my veggies and fruit when it's in season But I as most people do occasionally have to rely on the grocery store.
I personally don't worry to much about GMOs for food because of how the body processes it but I do worry about the pollen spreading to non GMO heirloom plants and contaminating them the same way.
These bugs are going to mess up the ecosystem badly. It will take a state level program to control these things. It will take sterile laternflys being released. Airial spraying and people doing their part to kill these things. Realistically its probably already to late, the reason why I say this is I am in California and in my youth the "ash whitefly" was brought to California and it distroys fruit trees and shade trees much the same way the l laternfly does, we control it but we have never eradicated it and the professionals call it a success, I think that is only a half-truth, controlling it is definitely good but it is far from eradication.
Side note I don't Montana environmental laws but here in southern California there is free hazardous waste drop off facilities. Come to find out mine are at the dumps and at dump transfer stations and only open Saturday for a few hours in the AM.
Google "hazardous waste disposal near me" that is how I found our facility.
20 million for research, with no results ?
What's that tell ya
I'm from the future. We lost the battle ...
This is good news for Dunder Mifflin!
Their number one competitor (Paper Depot) is a company that doesn't out source.
You had me at "wine and craft beer"
Let's destroy them.. before they destroy us
Now the county and the dept of agriculture is telling us to stop reporting it. Pathetic
Just call it piss, why sugarcoat it "honeydew"
$20,000,000 on research and $0 on actually doing something, sounds about right.
yeah, its way better to make uneducated decisions before learning about what your up against. maybe you should sit down
Zoey Nobody maybe you should have several seats. Many inventions were made out of desperation. Gardeners are concocting natural ways in which to kill these things, all out of observation and desperation. And you sit here and defend some pseudoscience. ✌🏽👋
i know people have already said this, but sheesh they are everywhere! I live in Pennsylvania pretty close to Berks County, and have personally committed a genocide on lanternflies last year with my friends using sticks lol. they cover the tree like crazy and later on, don't be expecting that tree to be producing leaves anymore 😢. plus it's literally impossible to kill them
A shipment of paving stones? I don't think it's the paving stone themselves. But I'm betting that it's the wooden crates the paving stones were packed in. I understand that any wooden packing material must have the bark removed (and sometimes fumigated) to enter the U.S. So I'm guessing that the wooden crates and pallets had some bark remaining and the bark had eggs on it.
We always talk about invasive species that end up in the U.S I'm curious if there have been cases of U.S/North American species that have ended up in other parts of the world.
There is a case of a plant disease from the Americas attacking olive trees in Italy
Racoons are a big problem in Europe and Asia
Raccoons in Japan.
Need to "Accidentally" send invasive bugs to china for payback
Our mammals are more invasive while their insects are more invasive.
