@panotiller @AReuschel You had a strategy -- biodiversity and IPM to increase slug predators.

[Anna Busch @annakbusch]

@panotiller @AReuschel It escalated quickly to a few hundred slugs and they were gone just as fast. Out of the fields I check for slugs, @panotiller has the most diverse group of insect predators. There was a lag, but I think the beetles got them eventually. One species does follow slug populations.

Today, after receiving reports of a #SpottedLanternfly population in Dauphin County and actively surveying and treating the area, the quarantine zone is expanding for the first time since Nov 2017. Dauphin County is the 14th county to be quarantined since bug was found in 2014.
