bugs

Yes, that bug getting in your house may not actually be a ladybug.

Someone at work had a banana recently. I know, because these nasty, little bugs were flying all over my head during my show today.

Getting a real Christmas tree for your home this year? Be sure to look these before you decorate.

There are certain signs Summer is ending. The leaves turn (sometimes they change early), shipping starts tapering off, kids go back to school, and these things show up.

We've had a ton of these spiders on our hunting property over the years. A lot of people don't realize we have these big suckers around.

It's that time of year again where the Mayflies hatch, and this Facebook user got a pretty disgusting glimpse of them late Monday night.

I learned a very effective method for trapping hornets, check it out.

I am not warped, there is a reason why I came up with the top 5 most popular insects of our area that should be used in insect-inspired food.  Because a museum in Houston has a vending machine that carries only snacks made from insect parts.  I thought why not get rid of our top 5 most annoying Northland insects, can you guess which 5 they are?

My husband and I have a wood burner so we are very conscious of where we can get the wood we burn.  We found that there are certain counties in Wisconsin that won't allow the transport of wood across county lines due to gypsy moths and the emerald ash borer beetle.  There was an emergency quarantine on Park Point last year that prompted the City to open a brush drop off site for Park Point reside

Last October there was evidence of emerald ash borer (EAB) beetle found in trees on Park Point in Duluth.  An emergency quarantine went into effect until February for Park Point prompting a brush drop off site for Park Point residents.  That is now temporarily closed.

Wood Tick season is here and it's already a pretty bad one in some areas.  Not only are they gross, but they can carry diseases.  Be especially careful of the smaller deer ticks.  Today I got a tip from a listener that you can use Apple Cider Vinegar to repel ticks.
