🐐 Don't guess, FAMACHA! 🐑

Are you tired of playing guessing games with parasite management in your herd? It’s time to get certified!

We expect adult spotted lanternfly (SLF) to begin emerging soon.
With recent confirmations of SLF in 7 NC counties (Caldwell, Caswell, Davidson, Forsyth, Guilford, Rockingham, Rowan), we urge you to keep your eye out for these invasive pests.
If you see one in a county not confirmed, report it and squash it!
See our Spotted Lanternfly page for management guides, look-alikes, DIY egg traps, and more!
