What to do:
If you see egg masses, scrape them off, double bag and throw away.
You can also place the eggs into alcohol, bleach or hand sanitizer to kill them.

Collect a specimen:
Specimens of any life stage can be turned in to the New Jersey Department of Agriculture's lab for verification.

Take a picture:
With your GPS function turned on your smartphone or a camera with GPS, take a photograph of ANY life stage (including egg masses)

Report a site:
If you can't take a specimen or photograph, call and leave detailing your sighting and contact information.
