The final passes will cover both areas through December 15 or until the first significant snowfall.

5. Special Notice from the Environmental Commission: Spotted Lanternfly Egg Mass Update: With the cool nights, female Spotted Lanternflies are being stimulated to lay their egg masses. You can detect egg masses that are normally clustered on tree trunks this time of the year (pictured below). There are reports that adults are clustering on ailanthus, styrax, and red maple tree trunks. Eliminating the egg masses by scraping them off the tree bark will help reduce the population for 2024.
