Late-stage spotted lanternfly nymphs are already activeâand theyâre devastating plants like this fig tree. These invasive pests feed on sap, weakening trees and leaving behind sticky residue that attracts mold and further damage.
If you see one:
Kill it immediately (stomp or crush).
Scrape and destroy any egg masses you find.
Avoid moving firewood or outdoor items that could spread them.
Contact a professional pest control service for targeted treatment before the infestation spreads.
Early action is the best defense. Protect your landscape before the damage is done.
