It seems just yesterday it was 2007. Pest problems are light presently, but two major situations have developed.

The weather has warmed, and the bugs are everywhere. Some are even a little early.

Lady bugs are excellent predators of aphids and several other small, soft-bodied insect pests, but they have a bad habit of colonizing when the weather begins to cool. Watch for wasps and bees looking for a place to overwinter, and keep a sharp eye out for pests in Christmas trees and firewood.

Spring is supposed to be here shortly, but the temperature outside is a little frosty. But this hasn’t deterred the insects.

This is going to be an interesting beginning to what appears to be a long, hot, buggy year. Several problems are being affected by the hot dry weather, and some bugs are being found early and in areas where they are not usually a problem.

The weather may have killed a few insects, but the vast majority are still kicking. A good example are the mosquitoes we have been seeing every time the sun warms us up a little.

The weather has been up and down, and the bug populations seem to have adjusted. And if this is any indication, we will have a full year and then some. We are having reports on pests that normally do not show up until April.
