"Don’t waste your money with this firm. They don’t deliver. About a year ago, I was convinced by a salesman of the company that the scratching noises I was hearing in my house were caused by mice roaming around in the walls of the house. I spent over $12,000 and took on a $150 quarterly maintenance plan to get rid of the mice. The company replaced all insulation in my attic and other areas. Also, the company told me they sealed all holes that the mice might use to enter the house. Over the past year, I have complained repeatedly about the mice still roaming around in my house. Most times, an agent would come to the house, look around the outside and place glue traps in areas inside the house. These are amateurish actions I could undertake myself. Recently, I complained by letter to the owner of Century, Mr. Brett Nunn, about my mice problem. Mr. Nunn did not respond to my letter."

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.
