A BUGGY PROBLEM

Are you being "bugged" by pest these days? If so, you're not alone...and it will only get worse.

Pest control companies in Tucson say they've been working overtime during the monsoon, helping people whose homes are being overridden by bugs. Experts say the insects leave their normal homes in the ground during the rainy season and seek shelter inside, to do things such as mating and laying eggs in your home.

You can minimize infestation by eliminating any clutter around your home that may provide hiding places for the pests, seal any gaps around your doors and windows and remove standing water. Mosquitoes and other little critters can use that water for breeding purposes.

I've also found that it's a good idea to keep your outside lights off when it gets dark, or you'll have those crunchy June bugs throwing themselves into your screens. Ah, what a life...crawl, throw, shoe, splat!
