BASKING RIDGE, N.J. – Viking Pest Control announced its partnership with the city of Pleasantville, N.J., to assist in their spotted lanternfly management efforts.
Viking Pest Control has been contracted to treat six public spaces in Pleasantville: two parks – Lincoln Green and New Hope Commons, the JB Smith Playground, the Pleasantville Recreation Center, and two bike path segments – Decatur Ave. to Second Ave. and Doughty Road to Bayview.
Viking is collaborating with the city government and its Department of Public Works to combat the invasive and destructive insect species. The Department of Public Works has initiated a plant trimming initiative to ensure the safety of the park, playground and bike path users. At the same time, Viking has commenced its treatment protocol for dealing with the spotted lanternfly. City Administrator Linda Peyton was instrumental in coordinating this effort between Viking, the Department of Public Works, and the Pleasantville government.
“We are excited to partner with Viking Pest Control, helping to combat the Spotted Lanternfly in Pleasantville,” said Mayor of Pleasantville Judy M. Ward. “We are taking the necessary steps to help improve our beautiful public spaces and the quality of outdoor life for our residents.”
