People in Ontario are being told to kill an invasive bug on sight Ontario Invasive Bug
, but you should probably splat it on sight, according to federal guidelines.
Over 70 species of plants and trees are at risk of being targeted by this invasive red-eyed insect. It has not been detected in Canada yet, but it does call a few US states home.If this Chinese native species comes to Canada, our fruit orchards, maple syrup industry, and vineyards could be uprooted. All of these combined have an annual worth of over $530 billion.
Transporting firewood across a significant distance is probably not a good idea. That’s where the bug lays its eggs. As they grow old, they practically hollow out trees of their sap.The CFIA says that spotted lanternflies are found in agricultural, residential, industrial, and forested areas, so you should really check and clean all your outdoor items and recreational gear, including grills, lawn furniture, yard games, tents, hiking boots, and backpacks.
"Destroy nymphs and adults by crushing them," instructs the CFIA, adding that you should add any samples you find in a sealable container and give them to the agency to inspect.
