Traveling? đźš— Check Your Stuff:
Inspect your car, trailer, grill, and outdoor gear—especially in fall through summer. Watch for egg masses in hidden spots and avoid parking under infested trees.

In Your Yard 🌳:
• Remove Tree-of-Heaven (SLF’s favorite and invasive).
• If keeping some, treat with insecticide.
• Don’t move firewood or store items under infested trees.

Maintenance 🪰:
• Scrape or smash egg masses (each can hatch ~35 bugs).
• Use circle traps—avoid sticky tape unless covered for wildlife safety.

Using Insecticides 🔍:
• Follow label directions or hire a pro for safe, effective treatment.
