      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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

      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!

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.

    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.

    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 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.
