Answered for Sheridan, Hamilton County.
Confirmed in Indiana and spreading, though not yet the everyday problem it is further east. Worth reporting a sighting to the state rather than just treating it. In Sheridan, community Park is singled out in the town's comprehensive plan for its numerous old-growth trees, and the pre-1970 residential grid around it carries matching full-size shade trees. New subdivisions plant only from the UDO's approved street-tree list — columnar Norway and hedge maples, black gum, disease-resistant Asian elm hybrids, European and American hornbeam, male "Autumn Gold" ginkgo and golden rain tree — a list that pointedly contains no ash and no Callery pear. Damages rather than kills most trees, but the honeydew and mould make a yard unusable.

Grey egg masses that look like smeared mud, sticky honeydew and black sooty mould underneath the tree.

Scrape egg masses in winter; treat nymphs in spring.
