Summary
Massachusetts is on high alert as the spotted lanternfly, a sticky, invasive pest with gray wings and black spots, spreads across 145 towns—everywhere except Cape Cod and the Islands. These bugs don’t harm humans or pets, but they’re devastating to plants. The state’s Department of Agricultural Resources urges everyone to help stop their spread: check your car before driving out of infested areas, vacuum up any bugs you spot on your property, and remove favored plants. And come fall and winter, destroy any egg masses you find—because stopping them now could save your garden next spring.
