It wasn’t that long ago that we were hearing and seeing all kinds of headlines, stories and warnings about spotted lanternflies and how we had to work to keep them from spreading because of the damage they can cause. You don’t see quite as many headlines these days, so we were curious where we stood in the fight against the spotted lanternfly. Where are they right now, and where are they going? Are the squish-on-sight marching orders still the same?
