The largest city in North Carolina, Charlotte, nicknamed the “Queen City,” is a major financial center, and a budding leader in agriculture. The city has three agricultural colleges and exports a wide variety of produce. But Charlotteans beware, some of the region’s farming is threatened by the sugarcane beetle. Pest control services in Charlotte and across North Carolina are constantly battling the destructive beetle that targets not only sugarcane, but also the cotton crop. Exterminators in Charlotte have been especially active in recent years as the cotton crop has grown, and along with it, the damage inflicted by the beetle.
