As we approach the annual cicada invasion, its important to note that we generally do not spray for cicadas as they are not a threat to human or pets.  However we know how annoying their 5-6 week presence can be.  Here are some ideas to minimize the impact cicadas can have on your home this summer.

Repair Holes in Screens

Cicadas are notorious for finding their way into homes through even the smallest of openings.  Inspect and repair any holes in window screens, patio door screens and other entry points

Cover Patio Furniture

Cicadas can land on and stain furniture fabric and leave behind debris and even carcasses.  Consider covering your furniture with tarps or moving it indoors during peak cicada season.

Cover Pools & Hot Tubs

Cicadas are attracted to water sources so covering water sources will minimize the number of cicadas converging on your yard.  Be sure to clean out pools an ponds regularly to prevent many from becoming trapped in the water.

Protect Trees and Shrubs

Cicadas lay eggs in branches, which can harm trees and shrubs, potentially impacting their health.  Consider using netting, foil barrier tape or gently spraying trees with water to deter egg laying.

Dispose of Cicada Carcasses

As cicadas molt and die, their carcasses accumulate and emit a strong odor.  Dispose of them quickly to avoid the overwhelming smell and attracting other pests.
