Sign Up to Collect!

The SLFIA is on hiatus in 2026 while Dr. Duennes is on maternity leave. Please check back in 2027 to order a kit and collect samples for our project!

To help cover the costs of kits, we charge $10 for kit shipping and returns. The $10 cost of shipping includes a return label so you can mail your samples back to us. You can also pick up from and return your kit to Saint Vincent College for free (this option is available on our Square site). Once you have received your kit, we advise that participants read all information provided in the kits. Lastly, make fun of the days you take to collect samples!

This is an example of the tube of propylene glycol you will receive. Spotted Lanternflies will be collected in the tube and returned through the mail with a provided return label
