⚠️ Significant Sunshine and Fireflies ⚠️

[Rain Cold]

Looks like we'll be dealing with an extended 1-2 day stretch of summer weather over the next couple of days, so I wanted to make sure we had a special dedicated thread so we could talk about it. People should prepare now for warm days with sunny skies and dusky evenings with lightning bugs and crickets galore.

On the heels of this anomalous pattern, expect a return to summer-like conditions, featuring sunny skies, crickety evenings, and an abundance of starry nights.

Thank you.

Should I or should I not stock up on bread and milk? Thank you.

The time to prepare is NOW. FEMA has a great site for your survival kit. Good Luck everyone!

I haven't seen a lot of fireflies but June bugs were plentiful. Does that mean a cold winter

I've discovered chickens eat June bugs, their running after them is quite the entertainment ??

On a tad more serious note, their eating june bugs is a good thing..... you know they start as grub worms that love to eat the roots of that precious lawn of yours. Just saying

This is true. Now if we could get a legit rain chance it's time to get the preventer out.

Bayer advanced grub control most likely. I tried the spectracide stuff but studies show it doesn't work and well it didn't lol. Just make sure you do it right before it rains so it's not left on the sfc and you run into some inadvertent issues.

Yeah I don't have to tell you controlling grubs controls other pest too. Moles, skunks, raccoons, they all like that grub

Milky spore works good on grubs, cover the whole yard

I didn't see it just the tunnel. After 15 minutes of repeated running over the tunnel with the lawn mower tires the problem didn't return

Voles = Dead plants! Eat all the roots off!!!
Moles just dig tunnels looking for your grubs you didn’t kill! ??

Most grubs are Japanese beetle larvae, so it’s good to get rid of them!! Should work on all grubs, but double check

Close the blinds ASAP! Turn down the AC to 57. Grab a blanket and hide in the closet until law-enforcement gives you the ok to come out. Good luck.

Thank you!! I saw some birds out there, too, before I covered the windows. Makes me think The Bird is on the loose! ?
