SLF FACTS
- SLF is a nuisance invasive pest threatening certain agricultural plants.
- SLF has been found throughout CT and in many other states.
- SLF does not bite or sting, nor does it carry diseases.
- SLF does not kill all trees it feeds on. SLF is a plant stressor that, along with other stressors, can cause significant damage to its host and understory plants.
- Stop the spread of SLF by checking your car and any outdoor equipment (grills, mowers, firewood, etc.) when going in and out of restricted areas.
- Manage SLF on your property by scraping and destroying eggs, carefully using bands or traps on trees, removing preferred hosts, and using registered insecticides for control when appropriate.
TJB-INC (CT DEEP license # B-652 & CT Arborist S-1710) specializes in the control of spotted lantern flies in New Haven County by using EPA registered products, following industry best practices, our treatment specialists implement the best treatment plan for your specific property and level of infestation using foliar spray and/or trunk injection. With over 50 years in business, you can trust your property with TJB-INC
Our Trunk Injection (Dinocide) is quick acting and complete because it travels throughout the entire vascular system of the tree. Any insect that consumes any portion of the roots, limbs, or leaves is controlled. There is not over or off-target spray to harm neighboring beneficial insects. Since it is contained within the tree, there is no harm to people, pets, birds, or earthworms. The product lasts for the full season before it is broken down biologically within the tree.
NOTE: We will not inject when a tree is in bloom to protect the pollinators.
In the spring or early summer, we inject (Imicide) for multi-season control. The product is much slower acting to spread throughout the tree but has multi-seasonal control from one application for any sucking, chewing, or boring insect effecting the tree.
Our foliar spray (Bifenthrin) acts very fast and is good for trees out in the open where drift is not a concern, sides of structures (houses, garages, & buildings), and ornamental beds where the SLF have massed.
NOTE: We will not spray a tree if it is in bloom to protect the innocent pollinators
