Spotted Lanternfly inWoodbridge, NJSPOTTED LANTERNFLY GUIDE
Middlesex County confirmed SLF in 2019, and Woodbridge Township — the county's largest municipality — confirmed establishment by 2020. The I-95/NJ Turnpike interchange at Woodbridge is among the busiest freight nodes on the East Coast, making this a critical SLF dispersal hub connecting New Jersey to New York, Pennsylvania, and beyond. The Staten Island-NJ transport corridor passes directly through the township. Woodbridge Center Mall concentrates regional retail traffic from across central NJ and Staten Island, and the Rahway River provides natural TOH habitat through the suburban landscape.

Tree of Heaven in Woodbridge, NJ
The I-95/NJ Turnpike interchange at Woodbridge is a top-tier SLF dispersal vector — heavy freight truck traffic moving egg masses on vehicles connects Woodbridge to the entire East Coast SLF corridor. The Rahway River waterfront has established Tree of Heaven populations providing natural SLF habitat through the township's suburban core. The Staten Island-NJ transport corridor and Port Reading industrial zone are additional high-traffic SLF vectors. Woodbridge's extensive suburban residential tree cover — among the densest in Middlesex County — sustains large established SLF colonies throughout the township.
