Tips to Protect Your Garden from Spotted Lanternflies

Spotted lanternflies are an invasive pest that pose a serious threat to trees, vines, and other plants. As these insects spread, they can cause significant damage to backyard gardens, orchards, and vineyards. Early detection and proactive measures are essential to protect your landscape during the 2025 season.

One of the most effective ways to manage spotted lanternfly populations is by using traps specifically designed for them. FOBA Spotted Lanternfly Traps use non-toxic materials and a targeted design that captures these pests without harming beneficial insects. Here are a few tips to maximize your trap’s effectiveness:

- Place traps on tree trunks where lanternflies congregate, such as smooth-barked trees and fruit trees.
- Install traps in early summer before nymphs mature into flying adults to intercept them as they climb.
- Regularly check and replace adhesive or refill components to ensure the trap remains sticky and attractive.
- Combine traps with other methods such as scraping egg masses and removing tree-of-heaven (a preferred host) for comprehensive control.

By implementing these strategies and staying vigilant, you can help protect your garden and local ecosystem from the spotted lanternfly. Browse our store to find FOBA Spotted Lanternfly Traps and other pest-control solutions.
