Moisture Fuels Bug Boom This Season | Santa Fe News

Rain’s not just soaking your shoes—it’s fueling a bug invasion. Pest pro Jason Campbell warns that wet weather is giving roaches, ants, and mosquitoes a massive boost. Outdoor roaches feast on yard debris, while indoor German cockroaches multiply fast and hide in plain sight. Mosquitoes thrive in even tiny puddles, with eggs surviving dry spells to hatch when it rains. Local bugs are now buzzing all day, not just at dawn or dusk. Clear your yard, call pros for quarterly treatments (most sprays last only 90–110 days), and protect yourself with DEET/picaridin repellents and long sleeves. Always follow label directions when using pesticides. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
