Do Bed Bugs Have A Home In A Garden?

Bed bugs can live outside your house for various reasons, including weather conditions, the presence of pests’ natural predators, and the duration of food deprivation. They are naturally drawn to garden materials such as wood from raised beds and camping gear, gardening tools, and picnic blankets. However, they have close to nonexistent chances of survival in the outdoors, but with proper maintenance, homeowners can help prevent their invasion.

Bed bugs can survive and remain active at temperatures as low as 7°C (46°F), but they die when their body temperatures reach 45°C (113°F). To kill bed bugs with heat, the room must be heated. Bed bugs prefer to live inside with their hosts and drink their blood, but they can live outside in areas with outdoor furniture, clothing, or dark, cluttered spaces.

Some bed bugs may show up in outdoor spaces in sheltered locations as they search for a place to hide. They can colonize temporarily reclaimed or repurposed furniture, but they will not hide in flower patches or directly in the grass of your lawn. Some bed bugs will never choose to be outside; they are parasites that have completely adapted to indoor life.

Bed bugs can travel in warm, warm soil, either directly on animals or people or on various moveable items. They can survive outdoors provided it is not freezing cold, but they freeze to death and cannot survive in temperatures below freezing.

Overall, bed bugs have close to nonexistent chances of survival in the outdoors, but homeowners can help prevent their invasion by maintaining a safe environment and using outdoor furniture.

Bed bugs live in warm locations and often make their homes in bedding, clothes, carpets, and furniture. You, their constant supply …


Will bed bugs go away if I stop sleeping in my bed?

It is erroneous to assume that bed bugs will disappear if one relocates from one room to another. In fact, they will inevitably follow the individual and establish new colonies. It is imperative to remain in the same room throughout the course of the treatment process for bed bugs in your domicile. In the event that one is required to relocate smaller items, it is recommended that they be subjected to a drying process at 120 degrees Celsius prior to their transfer. It is inadvisable to attempt to treat bed bugs without the requisite training and expertise, as the process is both ineffective and potentially dangerous.

Do bed bugs live anywhere besides beds?

Bedbugs are not exclusively found in mattresses, but can be found on any surface, including chairs, railings, and ceilings. They are nondiscriminatory and can be found in various locations, including ritzy high-rises and homeless shelters. The prevalence of bedbugs in low-income housing is due to dense populations and lack of funds for proper elimination strategies. Bedbugs do not stick to hair or skin, like lice or ticks, and prefer not to remain in clothing close to bodily heat. They are more likely to travel on backpacks, luggage, shoes, and other items farther removed from our bodies. Controlling bedbugs is difficult due to the high cost of treatment.

How long will bed bugs live outside?

Bed bugs have the capacity to survive for extended periods without food, up to four months in optimal conditions and up to a year in colder environments due to their slow metabolic rate. They can be prey to Pharaoh ants, cockroaches, lizards, and spiders. Bed bugs are not well-suited to environments with high moisture content or extreme temperatures. In particular, they are susceptible to mortality when exposed to temperatures as low as -0. 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

Can you get bed bugs from the garden?

It is possible for bed bugs to survive in outdoor environments, but they will inevitably seek indoor habitats or perish if they are unable to meet their physiological requirements. The duration of their survival and their hiding locations will be discussed by experts from Gunter Pest Control. This article serves as a valuable reference for those seeking information on the survival and hiding locations of bed bugs.

How do you find a bed bug nest?

Bed bugs are a common pest that can infest any dwelling, regardless of cleanliness. They feed on human blood and can cause various problems. Identifying their presence is challenging due to their hard-to-spot nature and their bites can take up to 14 days to develop. Understanding a bed bug nest can help in early detection. Bed bugs don’t build traditional nests but congregate in specific areas, often close to where they feed. To uncover bed bug nests, use a credit card or similar tool to probe and scrape along cracks and crevices, paying special attention to seams, tufts, and edges of mattresses and box springs.

What kills bed bugs permanently?

Pyrethrins and pyrethroids are common insecticides used to control bed bugs and other indoor pests. Pyrethrins are botanical insecticides derived from chrysanthemum flowers, while pyrethroids are synthetic chemical insecticides that act like pyrethrins. Both compounds are lethal to bed bugs, but resistant strains may cause them to move to new hiding places or temporarily flush them out of existing locations.

Combining products with multiple active ingredients or switching to a different chemical class can improve bed bug control. Some pyrethroid pesticides come in the form of a total release fogger, which can be used safely.

Can bed bugs be brought in from outdoors?

Can bed bugs be brought in from outdoors?

Bed bugs can be picked up on camping trips, but they are more likely to come from personal effects like tents, sleeping bags, and pillows rather than the outdoors. Bed bugs can survive in areas like garbage dumpsters, where they don’t need to feed regularly. For example, if a neighbor throws away a bed bug-ridden mattress, the bugs can survive in the area for up to a year without food. Unless your weekend habits involve dumpster diving and collecting discarded furniture, bed bugs exist so sporadically outdoors that efforts to block them should be directed elsewhere.

Bed bugs are not just parasites, but also spread during travel, causing infestations that can be unchecked and spread to subsequent occupants. Therefore, efforts to block bed bugs should be directed elsewhere.

Do bed bugs go away naturally?

Bedbugs are a persistent pest that can quickly breed and cause inconvenience for homeowners. They require special care and treatment to be effectively eradicated, and if left unchecked, they can reproduce and move on to neighboring homes or apartments. It is crucial to act on bedbug signs as soon as possible and seek professional help to prevent their proliferation. Regular cleaning and inspections can significantly impact your bedbug risk, such as vacuuming carpets, laundering bedding, and reducing break-in spots like cracks or holes. Regular cleaning and inspections can significantly reduce the risk of bedbug infestations and help homeowners stay safe from these pests.

What plant kills bed bugs?

What plant kills bed bugs?

Pests can be effectively prevented and controlled in your home using various plants and herbs. Mosquitoes can be deterred by citronella plants, lemongrass, basil, mint, sage, rosemary, marigolds, lavender, and catnip. Fruit flies and gnats can be deterred by various house plants, such as lavender, marigolds, Venus’ flytraps, or scented herbs. Flies can be discouraged by potted lavender, marigolds, Venus’ flytraps, or scented herbs. Cockroaches can be discouraged by fragrant plants like chrysanthemums, catnip, peppermint, and lavender.

Fleas and bedbugs can be effectively prevented by using lemongrass, lavender, citronella plants, catnip, and chrysanthemums. Pestech Residential Pest Management offers residential pest management services to keep these pests at bay. To schedule a home inspection, contact the team at Pestech Pest Solutions in New York.

Can bedbugs live in a plant?

Bed bugs are not harmful to houseplants as they are attracted to warmth, carbon dioxide, and blood, not grime or dirt. However, if you do get bed bugs, it’s important to protect your plants from treatments and consult a pest control professional for preparation. Some plants, like the humid and warm conditions in Georgia and Florida, are more resistant to bugs. Some plants, like the cactus, are more susceptible to pests.

Can bed bugs crawl on the ground?

Can bed bugs crawl on the ground?

Bed bugs are small, flat wingless insects that hide on beds and in cracks and crevices of walls, floors, and furniture. They can come into homes from infested areas or used furniture, and can travel between rooms in multi-unit buildings like apartment complexes and hotels. Bed bugs can be found in various locations, including mattress seams, box springs, bed frames, headboards, and used furniture. To avoid bed bugs, place bags on a suitcase stand, keep racks away from walls or furniture, wash clothes after trips, and inspect new and used furniture before bringing them inside. They do not fly or jump but can crawl rapidly.

  • Bed Bug Removal I started to notice some bites in January of this year but new nothing about killing bed bugs. To prepare I watched article after article showing the different methods of removing them. I could not afford a professional service so I did this. I waited until we had a forecast high of 115F or 45C. I did this so the bugs could not go deep into the walls and survive. With the outside temperature hot enough to kill them on its own, I blasted the heat and fans inside. I held between 122 and 126 for almost 8 hours in my trailer, using heat from three 1500 watt baseboard heaters. Then instead of renting big fans at about $40.00 per day I bought a 20 inch or 50 cm box fan from Canadian Tire for the same price, to add to the 5 household fans I already own. If your area is larger buy more fans. I had plans to buy three box fans but they were sold out because of our heat wave. For me this was OK because I have a floor standing air conditioner and used the fan to compensate. With a combination of laundering and heat drying all fabrics, including all bedding and clothes, then heating my place up to a sufficient temperature, I am now bug free. People remember heat treatments work best at the hottest part of the year when bugs can not find holes in the vapor barrier and crawl near the outer wall to stay safe, because outside temperatures are too hot for that option. In winter heat will not work for this same reason, but during hot days it is pretty much a sure kill, if you have enough heat and fans.

  • Once I had a pleasure moving into a flea-infested old studio apartment. Took some time till I discovered DE option, I ordered and applied into the crevices and gaps in wooden flooring where they concentrated. then I watched fleas in absolute panic jumping above ground, the reaction was, surprisingly, almost instantaneous and it didn’t take more than 20-30 minutes till this appartment was fleas free. then I collected all dead fleas and counted some 90 of them. 90. – though you do have to apply the poweder wherever insects concentrate when they’re not active.

  • At another house, we would have a lot of Praying Mantis’ get themselves trapped in our bathtub upstairs. I’d put my hand in front of them every time that I found them, and they’d walk right onto my hand. I’d take them outside and put them in a safe place and they’d walk right onto wherever I put them. They’re great for the garden, but I’ve always believed that there is something more in the way of intelligence to them because of that.

  • Squash vine borers are a menace where I live outside of Houston. I went to war on them this year and won. Squash coming out of my ears and I’m playing zucchini fairy dropping the blasted things off on the neighbors. I have frozen, dehydrated and eaten so much squash that I probably won’t grow it for 5 more years. For over two months I’ve had to de-egg my plants. I wrap a piece of shipping tape around two or three fingers, sticky side out, and inspect every leaf and stem on every plant every single day. Tap any eggs and the tape pulls them off. On really bad days, I removed over 300 eggs from 5 plants. Crazy! Of course, I missed a few eggs and had two plants that got grubs in the stems. At the first sign of a hole or frass on the stem, out comes the chicken injector with a nice big dose of BT right into the stem and it’s bye bye grub. Injecting BT is much easier on the plant than slicing the stem to find the grub. Injecting BT is much easier on the plant than slicing the stem to find the grub. Some people do pre-emptive strikes and adopt a regular injection schedule, but I’m cheap and don’t want to use the BT unless I have to.

  • I was growing tomatoes and ” Wile ” I was Inspecting them I found a, ” Hornworm ” ! But by, ” Good Fortune ” I Also saw a ” Lizard ” nearby ! The Lizard tried to hide in a Crevis in the Brick Wall. So I put the Hornworm at the mouth of ‘ That ‘ Crevis and went back to work. And when I Looked back the ” Hornworm ” was ” Gone ” And Only ” The Lizard ” was there . And he had an Expression on his face, as if to Express that We had an understanding with each other ! And ” THAT ” was ” The End of the Hornworm ” !

  • The tomato hornworm is adorable when it turns into a that flying shrimp/hummingbird thingy (Sphinx Moth). One visited some larkspur I grew a couple years ago. I’m trying tomato plants this year, but I won’t have the heart to kill those cute ‘lil things. I’ve been plagued by aphids on my lupines, but I’ve found that by using the misting setting on the hose and gently holding the tips of the flowers and spraying all along the length of the affected area, I can control the aphids without destroying the flowers. No pesticides, but I only do this early in the morning so as to give the lupine the day to dry out.

  • Parasitic wasps and certain types of ground bees do a great job controlling tomato worms. I was glad when you mentioned paper wasps. They are great for pest control in the garden. They really help keep the bugs under control. They usually are not very aggressive, but they can give a very painful sting.

  • I watch Gardening websites all day everyday between news articles and garden work. I just found your website and this article is absolutely the most informative article I have watched, I need to learn my insects. I resisted using pesticides last year and this year I am overwhelmed with beneficial insects that were missing last year. I need to learn these insects

  • Additions for the list: Bumble Bee, Damsel Fly, Assassin Bug, Crane Flies, Sweat Bees, Fire Flies, Soldier Beatles (easily mistaken for bad bugs such as stink bugs, but are pollinators), Ground Beetle, centipedes, millipedes, and pill bugs (though they are actually crustaceans, not bugs) Springtails are also good as long as they stay in the soil and ground litter. They only are bad if over watering is damaging the plants or if freshly sprouted seedlings are the only food available. They eat rotting material and help prevent molds.

  • Here in Maryland we have cicadas EVERY year, but last year was one of the 17 year explosions. If you do another article please include the cicada-killing wasp – it looks ferocious and many people kill them without realizing what they are, but they are mostly harmless to people (only female stings and only if you grab her), while they help keep the cicada population down.

  • The praying mantises sit on top of my giant zinnias and Mexican sunflowers and pick off the monarch butterflies, so I have to relocate them to plants visited by the invasive white cabbage butterflies. I too usually let a couple of the black swallowtail caterpillars mature even though they wreck the parsley and dill.

  • Ha, a ventriloquist gardener. Awesome tip on the black light. My shed was infested with marmorated stink bugs last week. I sprayed them with Sevin and it made such a mess. After i got em all, (the sevin takes a while to kill em), i sprayed around the screen and opened window. The next day I check the shed window and 😱 there were bout 50 more congregating. Apparently they can slip thru around the screen. I heard of this trap that a university has recommended for yrs now so I figured I’d try it. This time I shut window n covered window from the outside so no light could get in the shed. I made a pan of soapy water and sat it on the floor up against wall, put things up against it on the sides, (3 sides altogether) hooked a drop light bout 8″ over the metal pan. Nxt day I found bout 30 in the pan dead. Ive not seen any around but i keep finding them dead in a fresh pan every couple days. It really works so well, Ive decided I should make one outside too. Probably just put a light over a bucket of soapy water. Not foamy or they may crawl onto the foam n be able to crawl up the sides. 🙂

  • Oh, I had a swallowtail eating my Rue once. Really neat to see. Rue and Dill are hardy and fast growing so it didn’t hurt much. So neat to see. You should add Assassin Bugs to your good bugs list, btw. I had never seen or heard of them until I moved to East Tennessee. Some sort of pest devastated my potted flowers in only a day or two, but then the wilted plants were covered with Assassin Bugs eating the pests. They were really fun to watch. Similar to teeny tiny little red and black praying mantis, but with a more simplified forearm.

  • It’s amazing what you learn about insects and the environment when you’re a gardener compared to non gardeners. Last year I had a paper wasp nest right over my garden and everyone that came into my backyard warned me to knock it down and get rid of it and I would have to explain to each person that they were beneficial to the garden and that paper wasps are not aggressive and will not go after you if you just leave them alone. When the paper wasp were that close to my garden I did not have to use any sprays or anything, the wasp took care of it all. Then they abandon their nests and you could see a huge difference in the garden. This year they have come back but they have built a nest in the front of my house this time on my front porch. Now everyone that comes over sees the nest on my front porch and starts warning me to knock it down. Lol once again I have to explain to people that there’s no reason to do that.

  • Thanks I’m perusal from Australia, I had a laugh when you showed the mixed beetle lava. The reason is I care for 3 pure desert dingoes and they live in a large 600 msq enclosure with wet land type of flora. Well we get lots of those white larva and believe it or not the 2 female dingoes sniff them out !! They will sniff around undisturbed ground, locate them around 2-3″ below the surface dig them out and dine on them. Not just 1 either I watch them tracking them down and getting a few in a square metre. And they love them, if I find them digging I feed them to the dingoes. Thanks for the vid

  • Dragon flies are so fun to watch .They are 96% positive on hunting adventures. Great eyes and their bodies are so adaptable in air they seldom miss a meal. They will find a stick or branch to go back to each time they fly off hunting. They are faster than our cat and play with her, she looks for a playmate in our backyard garden in summer. They come in so many beautiful colors too.

  • I have experienced something interesting for two years now. I have had Japanese beetles come into my rose bush garden and start to cause issues, but because I have a suet feeder a few feet away, I have had regular old house sparrows eliminate the issue pretty quickly! They were great fun to watch as they would gobble up the beetles! I know some people don’t like the sparrows, but I’m glad to have them for that reason!

  • Thanks for the great article on the bad and good bugs in the garden. I did kill the tomato/tobacco hornworm the first time I found them. But some of them had lots of white things attached to them. They were the eggs from the Braconid wasp, a beneficial wasp that is a gardener’s friend. I usually find hornworms already loaded with Braconid wasp eggs and no longer feeding on the tomato plant because the eggs are sucking the insides out of the hornworm. The hornworms that don’t have eggs, will be transferred to a wild tomato plant to give the wasp time to find it. Edit: I did want to mention that I do have an issue with the cucumber beetle that you can add to your list of bad bugs. But maybe you don’t have these beetles.

  • Thanks for the info. Re: tomato hornworms – They are easily detected by their rather large, easy-to-see feces around the bottom of tomato plants. The hawk moth adults are plant pollinators, so unless t.h.w. infestation is really heavy, I pick the t.h.w.s off the tomatoes and move them to some other solon, which they may eat. Thanks again.

  • Thank you! This was a really well done and informative article. Great pictures and descriptions made it easy to follow and yell out, “That one! I’ve seen that one!”. I have spotted squash beetles on my tomatoes and something munching on my pepper leaves. I don’t see many beetles when I check my plants, but when I do I am sure to pick it off. Not sure if those are also what’s eating my pepper leaves…. I haven’t really caught anything red handed on that plant yet.

  • I raise milkweed for my monarch caterpillars and over the year now realize the largest predator I have is the tiny black wasps that hover under the milkweed leaves and eat my eggs or eat the caterpillars. I’ve seen a larger variety carrying around a 3rd instar cat and I heard they inject the cats and the babies actually emerge after killing the cat?

  • Just discovered your website, Mike. Subscribed half way through this article. Your presentation, photography and content are excellent! I’m very fond of insects and know most of my garden buddies and baddies. In Southern Ontario I don’t have all insects that you described, but am familiar with all you presented. We have 5 and 7 year cicadas and they like my trees. Since mine aren’t in huge numbers, I enjoy their presence, their song and my grandson collects the shed casings. I’ll be perusal your articles regularly now. Thank you! Greetings from Canada!🇨🇦

  • Hey Mike, great info! I would have added the giant cicada killer hornet to the list also. Fearsome-looking, but harmless to people. That’s a pretty impressive STARmeter for only three acting credits, too! My highest was 43, 683 when I was on Atlanta Homicide. When you hit 15,000 or so, you’ll start getting recruitment calls. Keep up the good work. BTW, you can add these vids to your IMDb credits as well.

  • Was sorting some materials leaned against shop outside wall when noticing a pray mantis on top of one item, careful to avoid moving that particular piece or otherwise disturb it I was simultaneously being harassed by a large house fly, moments later no more fly but a faint crunching sound (only time I’ve ever heard one eating)–sure enough mantis was eating my nemesis the fly!

  • At my dads every year, he gets swarmed with these asian bugs. They are more orange than red and have about 8 spots vs the 3 or 4 on the red friendly lady bug. I find lots of larvae in my garden every year and for the red ones. I watch them like an excited new parent, waiting for them to give birth to my garden angels. In my beginner gardening group, we are always sharing pics and discussing good or bad? Now we have a article to explain! Thank you! I have shared it with the group.

  • You missed my personal nemesis…the cabbage moth! Those little white butterflies are relentless depositing eggs all over brassicas. Around here they target cauliflower heavily. Last year I didn’t see the caterpillar numbers I had in the past and then I noticed wasps in my garden hunting in the cauliflower. It felt like a win until the wasps started invading my attic and soffits. :/ Good article, I enjoyed it.

  • Omg. My yard is about to be swarming with June bugs. They look pretty much like the Japanese beetle so I don’t know if they’re the same thing but uhhhh… every kid summer they literally swarm our backyard all morning just hovering a few feet above the grass. I’ve already seen a few… God I hope my gardens aren’t decimated by the end of this month.

  • Both ladybugs kill the same bugs. Both can bite but so what they are tiny. The only real difference in the one that was here first hibernates in the mountains in mass like a monarch butterfly hibernates. The one that has not been here so long does not hibernate and is here in warm shelter all winter. The Asian ladybug is more beneficial in that it is in the greenhouse all winter to eat bad bugs. Also the new Asian ladybug comes in more colors.

  • @Mike Dupree Great pictures, but the music was OVERWHELMING and terribly DISTRACTING! I had to strain to hear you! Gave up after perusal (and trying to listen!) after 10 minutes. Would LOVE to watch/listen to it if ever you remake this without the “music”. I know you put a Whole Lot into making this, for which I thank you. I just wish I could have learned from its content.

  • Not sure why but I couldn’t hear anything you were saying after time stamp 1:40. However I could hear the music just fine. Maybe check your audio tracks on this article in your edited project file and figure out what’s going on. seemed like it would have been a great article. Also at the end there when you bring out your dummy it caused my external HDMI monitor to crash. It actually shuts the monitor off and resets it.

  • Now I kno the identity of the bug that has been destroying my plants! It’s a stink bug. They r also seen joined in mating killing my plants. Diazon doesn’t seem to work either. * the horn worms are so big however that I’m afraid to touch them. I use a pliers. Thanks I found ur article very informative.

  • This is so discouraging. I’m just starting to grow food. I use the tule mesh which is supposed to keep out everything but after three days I already have insects on my plants. All the bad bugs are discouraging. I’ve made a batch of pesticide using need oil, castile soap, backing soda in a liter of water. Well see if it helps. How does anyone grow anything?

  • Praying Mantis are “Considered prime agents of biological control, their abilities have long been esteemed—so much so that in 1977, the alien, European Praying Mantis was granted protected status as the Official State Insect of Connecticut—an unheard of honor for an introduced species.” This is from a CT newspaper in June of 2019, and I just thought you’d like to see this trivia!

  • Thank you for the article. Talking about “safe” treatments, I create a bug spray from several ingredients that seems to kill everything except plants and humans. For SPOT TREATMENT. You go blowing this about, you’ll kill bugs good and bad. Interestingly fast acting. 1. Warm a teaspoon of baking soda in about 3/4 liter of water. (You need to warm the water to dissolve the bicarb) 2. When cool, mix it with about 2 tablespoons of oil (something that doesn’t suck), a teaspoon of dish soap, and about 6 ounces of rubbing alcohol. The cool thing that happens with this is the alcohol burns off, and because it is diluted, it is relatively safe for all plants. But it can either stun or kill. The alcohol helps make the oil mix in the solution, and the baking soda takes care of exoskeletons. The oil, and/or soap deprive bugs of oxygen. Cannibalistic species like cockroaches might kill entire colonies. They share the bicarbonate for a long time. The geckos that eat them remain unharmed. I swear, you can shoot houseflies out of the sky with this over your stove and not worry about what you are eating. Just don’t peg the bugs over the food because they really fall from the sky (the oil weighs them down). I’d like to try this with borax, but I can’t get it in Spain… like Dollar Store aspirin… Borax would be better at exoskeletons.

  • 1:52 “the one on the left is the docile american ladybug or lady beetle” ‘muricans :/ She (coccinella septempunctata) is as american as corn is Chinese. The other one looks like Harmonia axyridis to me, and she could be Chinese since is called Asian ladybug. They may be more yellow than red. The M marking on the head is not so unique. Other species also have it (Anatis mali, Adalia bipunctata) and it can be more or less sharp depending on specimen. You could also show some pictures of ladybug larvae, cause they look totally different and most ppl know how adult one looks, but not many know how larvae looks like.

  • Hey Mike, I just discovered your website. I finally moved to a house with a yard and I’m enjoying perusal the insects in the garden. Especially the praying mantises. But now I find myself fighting a losing battle with a huge colony of ants. I have ants all over my plants, especially my squash vines. Although, I don’t see any aphids for the ants to protect and I don’t see them harming the plants. Should I get rid of them somehow or just let them be? Because they are just everywhere. Edit: perusal from Israel.

  • 👍 as a new..but old Gardner I’ve found all kinds of bugs I’ve not seen before and trying to maintain healthy organic crops has been a challenge I have saved this valuable vedio to be able to refer back to. Do you have suggestions on how to get rid of the bad bugs while not harming the good ones? By the way I think kattidids are creepy looking to me eeeww! I know they are good bug though.

  • Great article! Two pest I deal with here in Pittsburgh the most is the white butterfly, who’s larvae eats the leaves of any plant, and the cucumber beatles. They look like Lady Bugs but have yellow stops. There is one other bug that I have not identified yet. I’m sure you can make another article with the many bugs you didn’t mention. This is the first article I’ve seen on this topic. Please do another one.

  • I used to have an Asian Waterdragon and tomato hornworms were one of his favorite things to eat. I got them through mail order. I saw one at the house I live in now and was so surprised. Went back to look at him a few minutes later and he was nowhere to be found. He must have been eaten by something.

  • Do Colorado Potato Beetles always look so round? I’m growing lots of potatoes in containers this year on my driveway and saw a beetle on them on about 3 occasions this year, it looked like a striped cucumber beetle but was orange & black or orange and dark green… the orange wasn’t a brilliant bright orange but like a mix between orange and pink. I’ve never seen this before. I wondered if maybe it was a CPB in a younger stage or something else. The potato foliage looks great with very little damage (almost none.) I’m in western NY if it matters. Thanks.

  • I really wanted to learn from your article it seems like it has really important information but starting to L I’m not sure how long it last like this but the music is too loud and I can’t hear what you’re saying thank you and I’m so happy to have to say this but I just really want to hear what you’re saying

  • I’m going to build a super prison, and hire soldier ants,, I’m going to round up all the bad bugs and put them to work in this prison industrial company masquerading as a justice system . if you have got any ideas what kind of item’s I could profit from manufacturing I’d appreciate it . I’d ask Camilla Harris. ( who ran the California industrial penal system ) but all she does is giggle like a meniacal Dr Seuss caricature these days .
