What do I do if I see one?

In addition to killing these insects — the same way you would kill any unwanted bugs inside your home, by squashing them or spraying them — people are advised to report any spotted Lanternfly sightings to the state Department of Agriculture’s special hotline number — 833-BADBUG-0 (833-223-2840) — or send an email to SLF-plantindustry@ag.nj.gov.
