Exterminators in Richmond, VA

2011 was the year of the cicada in many cities across the country including Richmond. The small, large-eyed, noisy bugs surface once every 13 years. But the long-awaited emergence is short-lived, literally. Once they appear, they sing, mate, and die just one month later. The incessant noise, coupled with the damage they can due to trees make them an irritating nuisance. Richmond exterminators say the 13-year cicadas shouldn’t be confused with 17-year cicadas though to the uninitiated the differences are almost non-existent. While most people avoid the cicadas and cringe if they have to touch one, some people view them as a tasty treat, roasting them and then munching away. If your home has been infested with cicadas, contact Richmond, Virginia pest control services.
