SPOTTED LANTERN FLIES IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY
Montgomery County residents should prepare for a boom in the spotted lanternfly population over the next three to five years, says the County Department of Transportation (MCDOT).
The invasive species, native to Southeast Asia, was first detected in the United States in eastern Pennsylvania in September 2014, and spread to Cecil County, Maryland, in October 2018. The insects were first spotted in Montgomery County in 2022 and have grown in population ever since.
MCDOT officials say some parts of the County may see population levels similar to the Cicada Brood X emergence in 2021.

ANNUAL PROPERTY LOT INSPECTIONS
Periodic exterior inspections of the homes/lots in King Farm are important for ensuring all property owners are adhering to the maintenance standards listed in the governing documents. These standards contribute to enhancing curb appeal and property values.
HOA Inspections USA, an independent inspection company, will take photos of homes as part of the inspection process. The photographer will be identifiable by their colored safety vest. The photographer will be using cameras to take photos of homes from common/public areas.
The photographer will NOT discuss what issues may be cited for yours or anyone else’s property.
If maintenance items are identified, a notice from HOA Inspections USA will be sent via USPS mail and by email, if on file with the management office. The initial notice will provide a compliance date to bring the noted items into compliance. An email will also be sent to homeowners from the management office. If the items are not brought into compliance, then a Final Notice/ Intent to Hold Hearing will be sent via USPS mail, email and posted to the property address door.
Email notifications will only be sent by HOAUSA for the initial notice if there is a primary email address on file and if there are violation items cited for the property.
You will need to CHECK YOUR MAIL AND EMAIL.
PLEASE MARK THE FOLLOWING EMAIL ADDRESSES AS SAFE SENDERS:
management@kingfarm.org via senearthcomail.comsource.com
