Nobody smuggled this insect into the country. Somebody bought rocks.
Egg masses rode a shipment of landscaping stone out of China around 2012, cleared inspection looking like dried mud on a pallet, and bred undetected in Pennsylvania for two years before anyone reported them. A decade later they're in nineteen states.
Most advice about them is useless. Government fact sheets have the emotional temperature of a parking ticket. The internet will tell you to spray vinegar, hang a bag of water, or buy a device that emits a frequency insects hate. And almost none of it mentions the one thing that actually decides how bad your summer goes: the invasive tree in your yard that this insect prefers above all others.
LICENSE TO SQUISH is a field manual written as an intelligence dossier, because the facts of this insect happen to be military in shape. One generation per year, so killing the eggs is a supply raid. Terrible fliers, so every mile they've traveled a human drove them. A single preferred host, so there's a supply line you can cut.
Inside:
Every tactic comes with the reason it works. Why phloem runs downward in late summer. Why one generation a year is this insect's greatest weakness. Why native predators took ten years to start eating them, and what you can do to avoid killing the ones that finally did.
Claims from the internet get tested and stamped: CONFIRMED, BUSTED, or PLAUSIBLE WITH CONDITIONS. Ultrasonic repellers, vinegar spray, chickens, power washing egg masses, and "they're killing all the trees" each get a verdict.
No eradication promises. No products to buy. A putty knife, a roll of window screen, and one correctly timed afternoon in September.
Go look at your rocks.
