Natasha was on WWLP discussing the increase in spotted lanternflies in our region and what you can do if you spot any. This invasive species can damage a wide variety of trees and plants. To slow the spread, experts ask that residents kill the pests by stepping on them or using a fly swatter. If you see a large number of them, take a picture and report it. Any sightings of the spotted lanternfly can be reported online to the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources.
