If you are in or near the quarantined area of Pennsylvania, you need to be aware of an invasive insect known as the spotted lantern fly.
Kill all you find. They won't hurt you, but they will damage BILLIONS of dollars of revenue potential for the state of Pennsylvania.
We have a certificate for travel and operation for the club. Contact me for your truck decal. You will need it to transport equipment and materials in and out of the quarantine area after I train you on detection and eradication. Call me at 301.466.7417
Rules of thumb:
1. Don't park under trees
2. Roll up your windows
3. Check for these hitchhikers before you leave the area
4. Cover materials with tarps
5. Look for and scrape egg masses off all hard surfaces into a baggie and add a drop or two of alcohol
6. Squish the bastards!
