Several States Report: Lanternfly Insect Can Get Into The Home By Attaching it’s Eggs to a Fresh Cut Live Christmas Tree

Several States Report: Lanternfly Insect Can Get Into The Home By Attaching it’s Eggs to a Fresh Cut Live Christmas Tree

So many people around the world enjoy having a live Christmas tree in their home during the holiday season. Some people may have always had a real Christmas tree. Some folks like the smell. If you are a live tree enthusiast and you are going to put up a live Christmas tree this year, please be aware of the lanternfly problem and how it is currently affecting the live Christmastree industry in America.

If you purchase a live tree, it is important to carefully inspect each tree, one row of branches at a time. The taller the tree, there are more rows of branches to inspect. Remember, inspect all the way to the trunk of the tree. Perform this operation for every level of branches on the tree. A good way to figure whether you looked at all the rows of branches is to average approximately one foot of Christmas tree for every row of branches on the Christmas tree. It’s important that you diligently inspect the tree, all the way to its trunk, from top to bottom. The laying of eggs, takes place mostly on or near the trunk of the tree. Just be extra careful and make sure that you look inside the tree very carefully and check the trunk for possible infestations. That’s really all you can do.

Before you purchase a live Christmas tree this year, just make sure that YOUR fresh cut Christmas tree isn’t one of the affected trees. Several states have reported lanternfly sitings, so Google and find out if your state is one of them. Ask a lot of questions at the tree lot too. The personnel at the tree lot should be knowledgeable about the problem. If the personnel at the tree lot act shady when you mention “lanternflies”, you know that you need to shop for your live Christmas tree somewhere else.

This document was published by Team Santa Inc. to encourage awareness related to the lanternflies problem and how it is currently affecting crops of live Christmas trees in America. Team Santa Inc. has a considerably sized fan base and we believe that it’s appropriate to raise awareness among that base. It is not meant in any way as an attempt to sway public opinion between live or artificial Christmas trees. We want fans of Team Santa Inc. to have a safe and healthy holiday season. That’s all that matters. Please make sure to do your own research on the Internet and feel free to share these tips with family and friends to steer clear of lanternflies this holiday season.‎

Until next time… Happy Decorating! 😎

Lanternfly Warning For Six States Can Infest Your Home Through Real Christmas Trees

**Spotted Lanternflies Can Infest Your Home Through A Live Christmas Tree**

Lanternfly Warning For Six States Bug Can Infest Your Home Through Real Christmas Trees

The spotted lanternfly could spoil many families’ holiday season, according to New Jersey agricultural expert Joseph Zoltowski, director of the New Jersey Department of Agriculture’s Division of Plant Industry, speaking to NJ.com.

Zoltowski says the tree-killing insect could potentially spread to homes by hiding in Christmas trees and leaving eggs to hatch. The spotted lanternfly, which is a native of eastern Asia, arrived in the U.S. four years ago in Pennsylvania and has spread throughout the eastern parts of the state.

The bug has recently been detected in three New Jersey counties—Hunterdon, Mercer and Warren. It is believed to spread by attaching itself and its eggs to vehicles carrying wood, landscaping materials and agricultural produce, which would include the bark and branches of Christmas trees. “They’re very hard to spot,” said Zoltowski.

A woman in Warren County, New Jersey, confirmed that she found lanternfly eggs attached to her Christmas tree once the insects hatched inside her home, according to Zoltowski. The expert said that there were two egg masses discovered in the bark, which are capable of storing as many as 30 to 50 eggs each.

Zoltowksi suggests that those planning to get a pre-cut Christmas tree should inspect every branch carefully for eggs and both live and dead insects before making a purchase of a live Christmas tree. Though the tree itself would only be killed by a large number of these insects, any presence of the bugs could spread in your home. “It’s a bad bug in that it could affect all types of agriculture,” Zoltowski said.

According to the New Jersey Department of Agriculture: “The Spotted Lanternfly adult is approximately 1 inch long and a half-inch wide at rest. The fore wing is grey with black spots and the wings tips are reticulated black blocks outlined in gray. “The hind wings have contrasting patches of red and black with a white band. The legs and head are black; the abdomen is yellow with broad black bands. Immature stages are black with white spots, and develop red patches as they grow.

“Adults and nymphs feed on phloem tissues of young stems with their piercing and sucking mouth parts and excrete large flies
quantities of liquid (honeydew) [which] facilitates the growth of sooty mold,” reports the department. Grape and apple growers in Pennsylvania are on high alert as female lanternflies are laying eggs for the following year, according to
American Agriculturalist.

“All lanternflies are in their adult stage right now, and females are laying eggs on hard surfaces such as trees, stones, fences, fence posts or vineyard posts,” according to American Agriculturalist’s report. “Spotted lanternflies have an apparent appetite for grapes, wine or juice, with 200 to 250 feedings per vine.”

“Destructive Invasive Pest” Christmas Tree Farms in Five States Being Bugged by the Spotted Lanternfly

Greetings Decorating Enthusiasts –
‎
Welcome back to another edition of the Team Santa Inc. News Daily. Today we continue our story with what officials are calling a “Destructive Invasive Pest”. Apparently this insect, called the spotted lanternfly and has been spotted at live Christmas tree lots in 5 states in the northeast part of the U.S. The bug from what we understand is not poisonous, but it can enter your home latched onto your live Christmas tree if you use one. New York State Environmental Conservation and Agriculture have confirmed that both live and dead spotted lanternflies were found at a tree nursery in Deer Park, Suffolk County, which is in NY. Apparently they arrived via a shipment originating from Pennsylvania and headed to the east cost carrying live Christmas trees.

“We are closely tracking spotted lanternfly, a destructive invasive pest that has the potential to severely impact our state’s agricultural and tourism industries,” DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said in a press release. Newman Copelow, long time industry expert says “that this outbreak of insects does not have to be a concern if you use an artificial Christmas tree. The threat only exists through the use of live or real Christmas trees”. Copelow continued, “the new artificial Christmas trees they make these days look more realistic than ever” Plus “you can buy one with LED Christmas lights” already pre-installed. Then you can connect your tree to your computer or other smart device”. He said, “It’s not quite clear why people are still using real Christmas trees in 2018”. In addition to the potential for fire, customers who purchase live Christmas trees must be on the lookout for insects in their homes this holiday season.

Spotted lanternfly infestations were first discovered in Pennsylvania in 2014 and have since been found in New Jersey, Delaware and Virginia, New York. There is anticipation related to the risk of the spotted lanternfly to populate the batches of live Christmas trees being delivered. According to the DEC, spotted lanternflies are at first black with white spots before turning red when they become adults. They start to appear as early and April each year. They are approximately one inch long, with eye-catching wings. Their forewings are gray and black, hindwings red with black spots and the upper portions are dark with a white stripe. Adults lay eggs on nearly anything from trunks, roots, firewood, furniture and even cars. Now the bug can enter your home or business via your live Christmas tree. This has caused great concern among Christmas tree growers and their affiliates. Shipment of real Christmas trees originating at this time are being refused and told not to ship. Some say thousands of Christmas trees have already been affected by the outbreak. “Given the widespread devastation this invasive pest can have on our agricultural crops, we appreciate all efforts to identify and report the spotted lanternfly in New York State,” State Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball said. If you believe you’ve found spotted lanternfly in New York the DEC asks you to take the following steps: Take a picture of the insect, egg masses and/or any signs of infestation. Send it by email to spottedlanternfly@dec.ny.gov Note the location (address, intersecting roads, landmarks or GPS coordinates.)

Until next time, Happy Decorating!
