ECC Manual 2021

AMENDED MOTION 19-29 (2020) TO permit lot owners to attach sticky insect bands to Spotted Lanternfly (“SLF”) infested trees upon their lot. Insect bands should be placed 4’ above ground and be tightly secured around the circumference of the tree to ensure no gaps. An insect band with a width of 3-5” is recommended and may be held in place upon the bard of the tree by the use of push pins. Members should additionally place a small section of vinyl mesh screening similar to window screen mesh over the insect band. The mesh may also be held in place by the use of push pins. Insect bands must be inspected routinely by the lot owner. If any animals become stuck to the insect bank, it is the lot owner’s responsibility to coordinate with an animal care specialist. Owners should not attempt to remove the animal themselves as they may put themselves and/or the animal in danger.

The insect bands may be placed upon trees April through December, keeping in mind that routine replacement of the bands between those timeframes may be necessary by the owner.

Motion made by Paul Spiese, seconded by Andrew Miller, and passed 7-0.
