​Summertime, summertime brings fun, fun, fun and BUGS too!

The 17-year cicadas are due back to Western IL.  -- What??  I swear they were just "here" a couple years ago.  Yuk!
  • Mosquitoes -- more people are killed by mosquito-borne illness than any other factor. In the United States, mosquitoes can spread different types of encephalitis and can transmit heartworms to domestic animals like dogs and cats.
  • Wasps -- Wasps usually have a slender, shiny body but they can often look like Honeybees. Unlike Honeybees, when wasps sting their victim they do not lose their stinger, allowing them to sting their victim repeatedly.
  • Ticks --  Ticks can be very tiny and some can also carry Lyme disease. Prevalent throughout North America, ticks can attach themselves to exposed skin after time spent outdoors. It’s important to do a full body check for ticks and to remove any ticks immediately.
  • Flies --  During a fly's lifetime (usually a 30 day cycle), a female fly will lay anywhere from 400-600 eggs. Each fly egg hatches into a small, grub-like, creature (larvae), which looks more like an inchworm than a fly. By eating  nutrients from soil, ponds or even in the sea, larvae will grow to adult fly size within a few days.
  • Ants -- Ants live in colonies of millions, building underground homes and trails. Most ants are worker ants, which gather food and building supplies. They have a keen sense for your picnics, sweet treats and any food laying around. In the summer heat, keep your food and drinks wrapped up, or you will be sharing it with millions of these critters.
