Atlanta Pest Control Experts, Team Pest USA, Share Top 10 Things You Didn't Know about Cicadas

    NORCROSS, GA, July 22, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Summer in eastern North America is hot, mostly humid, and unwanted pests beg for a trip to the ocean for a chance to cool off. Atlanta pest control company, Team Pest USA, notes however, that this northeastern summer comes with something special.

After a 17 year spell underground, periodical cicadas will emerge by the hundreds of thousands in the northeast. For the next four to six weeks of their short life above ground, they will mate, make a lot of noise, suck on plant juice (they're vegetarians), and eventually, die.

Although there are over 3,000 species of cicadas in the world, periodical cicadas are only found in eastern North America. A swarm of them can produce sounds of up to 120 decibels (louder than a rock concert) and can be heard up to half a mile away. A female can lay up to 600 eggs in her brief life span and some adult cicadas grow up to 4 inches in length. Cicadas are found in all continents except Antarctica and in China, they are regarded both as a delicacy and a symbol of rebirth.

Even though this particular cicada swarm is predicted to reach the Peach State, this well-known and trusted Atlanta pest control company is not worried.

This is what Brandon Pelfrey, Owner of Team Pest USA has to say: "We have been in this business for over 42 years and we've removed probably millions of pests and insects from the homes and businesses of our customers in that time. A summer swarm of cicadas is not going to faze us. We'll deal with the situation the same way we handle all our pest control projects - professionally, economically and thoroughly. You can count on that."
