"Absolutely terrible experience. I would not recommend this company. I used their services for two years, paid top dollar, and expected it would benefit my yard—but it now looks worse than when I started. I’m even having to replace my sod. I reached out hoping to speak with a manager to discuss options or at least express my concerns. Instead, I was met with indifference. Both managers(Chris/adam) seemed uninterested in my feedback and made no real effort to resolve the issue or retain my business. There was no apology, no resolution—just a generic, dismissive response. To make matters worse, I was charged a $300 fee after canceling, supposedly because a service was scheduled within 30 days—despite the fact that I had raised concerns and expressed intent to cancel for over two months. I’ll be sure to let my neighbors and friends know my experience."

"Worst company ethics. They went to another home instead for 5 months even after repeated calls our yard died in huge patches. They only offered to give us the next five treatments at no charge since we had already paid for them. They came twice after that. We will have to replace a lot of our grass now. They are rude in the office and would not even let me speak with a manager. I would never recommend them and would never use them again."

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.
