JP Pest Services has been providing pest management solutions for New England homes and businesses since 1925. We’ve learned a lot about our Northeast customer base over the past 9 decades like what they expect from the effectiveness of our services to what they need from our Customer Service Representatives and Service Professionals in the field.
"They were willing to come on an as-needed basis for wasps, but I was chagrined to hear that we couldn't hire JP Pest just once to take care of existing mice. They said that the only way they treated those was with a yearly contract that includes quarterly monitoring. They said there really was no other way because new mice would just replace the old quickly. However, the yearly contract would include not just rodents but also the bees and wasps, ants and spiders. In the end, after calling around, I agreed to the yearly contract, which was reasonably priced. JP Pest uses the least toxic and most humane methods they can. And bonus: the tick population seems to have declined measurably with the disappearance of the mouse colonies."

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.
