Any update?

Hello, someone, anyone? This issue is actually affecting all of Jersey. The spotted Mountain Fly is invading our neighborhood, eating all of the trees. They’re everywhere.

It’s all over Jersey-recently on the news.

Please call the NJ Spotted Lanternfly Hotline at 1-833-223-2840 for further assistance. Thank you.

Thank you. I called and it refers to a website to report sightings. So, I’ll go on the site to do that. Thanks again.

I already sent a report to the NJ Department of Agriculture on this sighting on 6/30/2022 through their online reporting tool. I provided the hotline number in hopes that doing so would help expedite this request but according to your response, the number just referred you right back to the online reporting tool. If you would like, you may reach out to Parks and Forestry at 201-547-4449 to see if they may be of any assistance. Thank you for reporting to the City of Jersey City.

Yes, I will do that also. Thank you for your attention to this. I think this should be kept open though—only because this is an ongoing issue.

Is the city going to spray or request the county does so?

Now the adult spotted mountain flies have taken over.

Thank you for reporting an issue to the City of Jersey City.
