Swarm season in Boise starts in early March and can last into July, so now’s the time to familiarize yourself with these creatures

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.

Don't get too excited about the nice weather finally arriving, as it is the dreadful time that many have been hoping to avoid this time of year.

Don't get too excited for spring, because some things may not be as nice as you remember.

Experts say cicadas have "jetting" pee that allows them to squirt at potential predators, including humans.

Sorry, but 2024 isn't going to be your year when it comes to avoiding the deadliest animal in the world.

Whether you're a homeowner in Idaho or Florida, you've got to be strategic about your cold weather pest defense.

Bedbugs don't just live in your bed. Find out where else they could be hiding in your hotel room before you go to sleep.

As summer winds down, we are entering the best time of the year, but it could also be the worst time of year as well.

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.

Winter might finally be over in Idaho, and I think we're all feeling very excited for Summer! Right? However, there are pros and cons to everything. Sure...

While it is nearly impossible to go a whole summer without enjoying the Snake River at least once, you may want to avoid it this summer for a few reasons.

There is no shortage of pests that crawl, zigzag, squirm, wriggle, and fly throughout southern Idaho gardens in search of a snack that usually ends up being our favorite plants and flowers.

They’re not large. They’re not ferocious. But they are about to be active again across the state.

While other places in the country get to enjoy spring, we are left with perhaps the worst season of the year in the Gem State.

The way this year is going, the weather will be warmer sooner than later, and the peace that many of us have been experiencing will be over.

There is one task that should be done, that many are not aware of and won't do this fall or winter in the Magic Valley.
