## Resource

Spotted lanternflies are exploding in Cincinnati—now’s the critical window to stop them before next year. Females are gearing up to lay eggs, so squash any bugs you spot and scrape off egg masses from trees, cars, or gear. Drop them in soapy water or alcohol to kill them. Target invasive tree-of-heaven trees—but treat them first with a specific weed killer, let them die, then remove. Focus on larger trees—they’re likely females still waiting to lay eggs. Acting fast matters, but good news: populations often peak and stabilize over time. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
