No peace and outdoor gatherings until the weather freezes. Those ORANGE DOTS all over our windows and cars us their poop!! Ugh. It’s the most disgusting summer ever!! Don’t bother with pesticides on the hose cause that will not kill them. My windows r all streaky from the supersoakers filled with water n dawn. I can’t tell the dead ones from the live ones when I’m blowing them because the live ones got sticky feet n they hold on to the patio but there wings r flapping up. ![]() Then I pick them up with the proper scooper and blow them into the grass n driveway. The lantern flies do get aggressive flying in my hair n face and they don’t stop coming from all directions. We.use a small torch on my brick house and I have a super soaker water gun always filled with water and THE BLUE DAWN DISH LIQUId DISH Soap. They are all over my brick house n patio.

We will continue to follow our Tree Risk Management guidelines for the majority of infestations on City trees–pruning and removing trees as they pose a risk to the public.” “At this time we are not considering any widespread treatment or tree removal strategies to control the SLF population,” a spokesperson from the Parks Department told us. The spotted lanternflies seem to be attracted to the glass and steel towers of the West Side. The NYC Parks Department told W42ST that they regularly attend spotted lanternfly interagency response meetings led by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets to keep up to date on the latest infestation data and learn about any new management methods. Researchers have suggested that the insects, which seem to prefer glass and metal-walled buildings over pre-war brick, are attracted to the warmth and height radiating from new construction materials. Large swathes of the spotted menace - known as the Lycorma delicatula and rapidly spreading across the East Coast – converged at the entrance of Life Time SKY on W42nd between 11th and 12th Avenue, blocking patrons from entering the gym as equally dense colonies of bugs took over the exteriors of Waterline Square and VIA57 West. The revolving door entrance at Life Time SKY was closed after spotted lanternflies swarmed in the area this week. It’s getting a little locust plague-esque here on the West Side, as swarms of spotted lanternflies sweep Hell’s Kitchen’s modern glass and steel towers en masse!
