Periodical Cicadas are coming! The 2021 Cicada Brood X (Brood 10) swarm is emerging from underground after 16 years and it's time to protect your garden trees right now! Garden expert, Shirley Bovshow explains the purpose of the periodical cicada swarm, (Brood X) and what garden plants and trees you should be concerned about.

Shirley demonstrates how to protect young, or recently planted trees from being devastated when cicadas lays eggs in their branches by covering them with horticultural or agricultural netting aka "garden netting" and "tree netting."

You can find garden netting at garden centers and online. Another option is to wrap your young tree with insect sticky paper and insect sticky tape. The periodic cicadas will stick to paper and tape and will be unable to damage your tree.

Periodical Cicadas breed above ground every 17 years and make their presence known by their loud mating songs initiated by the male cicada. The loud sound of Cicadas is sometimes compared to the sound of a jet airplane or power drill! Shirley also offers tips on what not to do so you won't attract more cicadas to your yard!
