There are no products known labeled for lanternfly control, including Bio Advanced 3-in-1 Insect Disease & Mite Control Concentrate. Spotted Lantern Fly is an invasive pest only found in certain areas of Pennsylvania right now. Penn State Extension has set up an entire website to help track and control this pest. Please visit this site for information on how to report this pest and non-chemical steps recommended: https://www.agriculture.pa.gov/Plants_Land_Water/PlantIndustry/Entomology/spotted_lanternfly/Pages/default.aspx Further information for homeowners can be found here: https://www.agriculture.pa.gov/Plants_Land_Water/PlantIndustry/Entomology/spotted_lanternfly/homeowners/Pages/default.aspx Some folks are treating trees with dinotefuran, although since these products are not yet labeled for this pest, we cannot be certain as to the efficacy. https://www.domyown.com/safari-20sg-systemic-insecticide-with-dinotefuran-p-2512.html Please contact your local extension if you have other questions about this pest
