Show Notes
Colorados unusually warm winter is causing an early pest invasion, with pest control companies seeing a doubling of calls for wasps, ants, and spiders. This could lead to larger nests by summer. Homeowners are turning to professionals for help, and companies are hiring extra staff to meet the demand. However, warmer trends also pose a threat to beneficial insects like bumble bees and dragonflies, which could decline over time, impacting crops, pest control in nature, and water systems. To support these good bugs, experts advise delaying yard work and leaving leaves on the ground for shelter during late cold snaps.
