In this WESA 90.5 article, Steve Fellure from Davey's South Pittsburgh office discusses spotted lanternfly signs and patterns in the Pittsburgh area.
A few years ago, Steve Fellure would see swarms of spotted lanternflies in the Philadelphia-area when he visited his family. But now, he said, the population of the bugs has waned.
“They're still there but they're not nearly as dense as they were a couple of years ago,” he said. “So they are moving — they're moving west.”
Fellure, the district manager for Davey Tree Service in the South Hills, said there is some anecdotal evidence that the biggest populations of spotted lanternflies may be starting to move on from Pittsburgh where they first took root and ballooned a few years ago, ranging into the suburbs and beyond.
