Sammy the Solar Siren will protect our backyards and local ecosystems from the invasive Spotted Lanternfly(SLF). The trap will protect native VA plants and trees, help farms and vineyards, reduce the use of pesticides in food chains and the environment, while also ensuring no other beneficial insect or animal is harmed. The solar panels lure the SLF into the housing using 60hertz frequency while also powering a plunger plate that is activated to push the SLF into a plastic bag for easy disposal.
