While many good things happen this time of year, it is also one of the most annoying times, mainly due to one factor that makes people a little crazy in Idaho.
Living in Idaho, it’s easy to sit back and laugh as people in the Midwest and parts of the South panic over the inevitable arrival of “trillions” of cicadas.
After bugging lots of people, a pest control friend said Diatomaceous Earth, or DE is a way to kill pests inside the home or out in the garden without chemicals.
Just like camping, the clean-up takes longer than the trip did. You can go through the longest car wash in town with 14 different soaps and 32 microfiber sponges and still end up bug spots.
We may have been harsh and misguided in our killing of the bug. Because after searching for information we found that it was probably a Western Cicada Killer Wasp.
Don't put things off and have to suffer through triple-digit heat, and instead take nice of the nice weather before it is too late by doing these tasks.
