I think they are cute.

Ask your local Master Gardener ! They have help lines and emails for just this type of thing.

I put this in the other thread, too


You need predators!

Encourage birds to come live with you. Put a feeder and/ or birdbath nearby. Pay attention to factors that drive birds away, like a noisy AC compressor or flappy/ fluttery items. Remove flags or wind sculptures.

You can also buy preying mantis eggs online. You'd be doing the ecosystem a favor by adding predators to areas where the lanternflies are breeding.
