What does treatment for spotted lanternfly cost?
Treatment typically runs $150 to $500 per application around Indianapolis, and it is rarely one application. Scrape egg masses in winter; treat nymphs in spring.
Whether it's worth it
Damages rather than kills most trees, but the honeydew and mould make a yard unusable.
Indiana specifics
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.
