SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Much of Pennsylvania is under quarantine, but this time it's not COVID. The order is an early warning to stop the spread of the spotted lantern fly, the pest that's been destroying vegetation in NEPA for years.

Lackawanna County is just one of 52 counties within Pennsylvania that are part of the quarantine.

The goal is to stop the spread of spotted lantern flies and to save the economy.

A quarantine has taken over the state of Pennsylvania, but this order is nothing new to the Commonwealth.

It started 10 years ago when the first spotted lanternfly crossed state lines.

"It doesn't belong here, it's an invasive, it's not a native species. And it has spread kind of slowly until 52 Pennsylvania counties now have known lantern fly infestations, so they are quarantined," said Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Press Secretary Shannon Powers.
