"AWFUL! They charge you for services that they don't render. If you call and complain they send someone out to not do anything and just check off that they did something. I had them for 3 months, full service paying $115 a month. I had water bugs, mosquitoes and everything the entire time was paying them with no improvement. I had to call three times before a technician came out and she verified that none of the order slips left had actually been done because there were ZERO stations left in the attic, yard, or crawl space like had been indicated and I PAID FOR. Then refused to take payment on a visit on sight, then sent someone to pull my stations that had just been put in due to nonpayment. I tried to resolve with them directly as I refused to pay for services not rendered. They still sent me to collections with a Glenn Hamiliton who called and harassed me calling me a child because I would not release my information to him because he wouldn't tell me who or why he was calling. Danielle in the Hornes office then told me "Debt collectors don't have to be nice" after I again was explaining my situation. She proceeded to laugh and disconnect. The entire organization is a scam with zero customer service or quality insurance. Don't waste your money or time with this company."

"I had the absolute pleasure of working with Bobby and Christen. Our situation was extremely time-sensitive due to a firm closing deadline and unexpected health-related complications. Bobby went above and beyond not only stepping in to help, but showing genuine compassion for my seller’s needs. Even on the day of service, when weather became a major concern, they still found a way to get everything done and executed on time so we could meet our final walkthrough deadline. I’ll definitely be referring all of my future pest control business to them. Thank you, Bobby and Christy for going over and beyond."

Professional treatments provide substantial population reduction when properly timed and applied. Success rates improve with comprehensive approaches that combine targeted sprays with systemic treatments. Certified professionals can assess property-specific factors and customize treatment protocols accordingly.
Most properties see significant improvement after properly sequenced applications, though complete eradication may require ongoing management in heavily infested regions.
Key indicators include sticky residue (honeydew) on plant surfaces, sooty mold growth on leaves, egg masses appearing as grayish-brown patches on trees, and the presence of the insects themselves. Young nymphs appear black with white spots, while older nymphs develop red patches. Adult lanternflies have distinctive spotted forewings and bright red hindwings. Tree health decline, including wilting or stunted growth, may also signal an established infestation.
When applied according to manufacturer specifications, professional treatments pose minimal risk to plant health. Certified applicators select appropriate formulations and concentrations based on plant species, condition, and environmental factors. They calibrate application equipment to deliver precise amounts of product where needed. Potential risks primarily arise from improper application techniques or using products not specifically labeled for ornamental plant use.
Treating a spotted lanternfly infestation is rarely a one-time cost. Comprehensive management often requires multiple interventions throughout the year as these insects progress through different life stages. A single treatment may provide temporary relief, but it won't prevent future generations from developing.
Effective programs often include treatments targeting emerging nymphs in spring, adults during summer, and egg masses in fall/winter. Establishing an ongoing monitoring and treatment schedule provides the most reliable protection.
Treatment timing should align with the insect's life cycle stages. Early spring applications target newly hatching nymphs before they can mature and reproduce. Mid-summer treatments address adult populations before egg-laying begins. The specific calendar timing varies by region and seasonal weather patterns. Professional pest managers monitor local population development and time applications accordingly for maximum effectiveness.
