The invasive spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) continues to be a pest for many different commodities in the eastern United States. Typical management of spotted lanternfly often focuses on chemical control at the juvenile and adult life stages. Little research regarding the management of spotted lanternfly egg masses is available. Spotted lanternfly spend a significant portion of their life overwintering in the egg life stage, coupled with the inherent immobility of eggs, suggesting egg mass management is a good candidate for further investigation. This research explored the efficacy of various conventional pesticides, growth regulators, agricultural oils, organic products, and entomopathogenic fungi (Beauveria bassiana) against overwintering spotted lanternfly egg masses at different seasonal periods. Developing additional methods of managing this pest is crucial for implementing flexible integrated pest management strategies.
