Stop in for a cup of coffee

@Mattax View attachment 1715953036 View attachment 1715953035 Not sure how much of the country has this problem. Our area is now fully invaded by the Spotted Lantern Fly. I saw this Ailanthus (Tree of Heaven, Chinese/Stinking Sumac) and was ready to go for the weed killer when I took a closer look…:wtf: A quick search online tells me to spray with Dawn soap. I noticed Keyword callouts on the article for my least favorite weed tree. Turns out it is these critters favorite! So, for now The few of these plants I found will get a reprieve so I can use them as a collection point to spray the Lantern Flies:thumbsup:
we get the Japanese beetles. They show up late June for a week or so. They like any plant or tree with a flower. Spray them a couple times a day with 7 and they move on.
