What’s “bugging” you?

Now that the weather is turning colder, you may start to notice there aren’t as many “bugs” left crawling, creeping and flying around the area. Where to bugs go when the weather turns colder?
You may find it interesting to know there are a variety of different answers to that question, depending upon the bug. Some bugs actually follow the paths of their feathered friends and migrate to warmer climates! Some insects will brave the winter, finding shelter either in hollow logs or holes in trees. Others will wrap themselves in self-made cocoons. Some insects will seemingly ‘hibernate’ for the winters, yet others have body fluids that act like anti-freeze.
Of course, there are certain bugs that like to be warm, and will migrate into our homes for the cold season to come! These uninvited houseguests can truly be called “pests!”

The ants are the first thing I notice sneaking inside.
Forget the ants……..I’m in my house I will look and there’s a spider or 2 on the ceiling or the wall just making itself at my warm house….EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!
There are tons of spiders in the house now.
LADYBUGS!!!
