Our own Ellen Roane giving very good information regarding those pesky Spotted Lantern Flies!!!
There’s a relatively new winged resident in town. If you see him, squash him. The spotted lanternfly has made its way to Harrisburg, but according to city Forester Ellen Roane, the invasive insect is not a welcomed guest. You’ll recognize the fly by its gray, black, red and yellow body and wings...
We still have traps available!!!!!
Reminder: Our Parks, Recreation and Facilities Department has been giving out free traps to capture the spotted lanternfly. Residents needing one can pick it up at 123 Walnut Street, Suite 317 between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm Monday - Friday. While supplies last
