SPRING HAS SPRUNG!
Most of you who receive this newsletter have had the pleasure of visiting, if not living here in the mountains of western North Carolina. One of the endearing things about this is our great fishing, beautiful mountains, and the dreaded ladybug! We have talked about the first two; now let’s deal with the Lady Bug!
First of all: that bug is no lady! As you will learn, the ladybug and the Asian Lady BEETLE are two very different insects. Lady Beetles may look similar but that’s where the two part ways.

Some ideas on getting rid of Lady Beetles! Some simple and home friendly ways to discourage their existence! And after that, it’s the mountains and they come with the good and the not so lady-like bugs.
Some fun things on the horizon!
