Fruit Crop Insect Scouting

David Owens, Extension Entomologist, owensd@udel.edu

Scout grape vines for spotted lanternfly. Look also for signs of their presence: thick honeydew and sooty mold as well as wasp, bee, fly, and butterfly activity where honeydew collects. The thresholds are around 10 per vine. They can be controlled with pyrethroids and neonics.
