The first sign of a spotted lanternfly infestation is often easy to overlook. You might notice a sticky substance on outdoor furniture, your vehicle, or nearby plants, followed by dark patches of mold developing on leaves and branches. While these signs can be frustrating, they are caused by an invasive insect that feeds on plant sap and leaves behind a sugary residue known as honeydew. Over time, this can encourage the growth of sooty mold, reducing a plant’s ability to absorb sunlight and affecting its overall health. Recognizing the problem early gives homeowners the best opportunity to protect their landscapes.
