Cicadas are Coming !!!

We have had folks coming in lately ask us how to kill the cicadas. We recommend leaving them alone. They do not sting or bit and the adults only live about 2 weeks, they sing, mate, lay eggs and die. That's it. The young feed deep in the ground on large tree roots. They may harm young newly planted trees, so hold off any tree planting till Fall. We started a Facebook Page for the 17 Year Brood 2 Cicada and invite you to add your stories and photos of this rare natural event. We hope you find it informative and entertaining.   https://www.facebook.com/17YearCicadas
