Cicadas

The good news is the historic brood invasion of cicadas in Illinois is lessening. However, the bad news is the screams of these pests is getting louder and there's a strange reason why.

The fact that a record number of cicadas are making their way through Illinois as we speak is bad enough, but it might be even worse if you have a garden you're proud of.

Illinois will be crawling with billions of cicadas very soon. If you have these two things in your backyard, you're going to be seeing more cicadas than most.

Illinois braces for a cicada invasion! Learn why these insects are heading to the state, where they'll be emerging, and how long they live above ground.

They're coming. Oh, wait. The truth is they're already here. The notorious cicada brood hatch is now making its way northward in Missouri and there's nothing you can do to stop them.

They are going to need a whole team of people to clean up this neighborhood.

It's no secret that this is a historic year for the cicada broods especially in Missouri and Illinois. One St. Louis yard shared more video proof of what it's like when 1,000,000 cicadas suddenly decide they want to take over your property.

I'm going to state something that sounds like it can't possibly be true, but it is. Millions of zombie cicadas are about to invade Illinois. It's a real thing and there's science to prove it. Oh, and they might already be on the way, too.

If you look forward to the historic double cicada invasion in Missouri, I have great news for you. If you don't, well, you might want to look the other way as there is evidence that the blazing heat in Missouri could actually speed up the activity of these pests.

I just told you that you're going to get peed on by random bugs that hibernate for long enough to get a driver's license. And that sounds disgusting, right? Well, it's really kind of okay.
