Atlanta Pest Control Company, North Fulton Pest Solutions, Discusses Periodic 17 Year Cicadas

    NORCROSS, GA, August 05, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Atlanta pest control specialists, North Fulton Pest Solutions, would like to take a moment to talk about cicadas. Residents along the east coast have recently experienced or are currently experiencing the buzzing melody this orchestra of insects puts on display, notes the Atlanta pest control firm. It may be hard to believe, but cicadas live underground for nearly their entire lives, waiting for the precise moment before they die to mate and prolong their species. Timing is very precious for these creatures, as they must quickly come to the surface and find a mate. According to the Atlanta pest control company, this is why we hear that loud buzzing. The males vibrate their bodies in order to attract females. The ritual becomes that much more astounding when realizing that it only occurs once every 13 to 17 years for the periodical cicada that recently made their presence known along the east coast.

The periodic 17 year cicada differs from the annual cicada that many are more familiar with here in Atlanta. The annual cicada is larger in comparison to the periodic cicada and green bodied. The periodical cicada is black bodied and red eyed making it quite easy to distinguish from its annual counterpart.

Many people may find the cicada chorus annoying, due largely to the fact that the sheer number of bugs that participate in the musical event can create an extremely loud and repetitive noise. However, the Atlanta pest control business says it is a unique opportunity to witness one of Mother Nature's most interesting occurrences. According to Blake Edwards, Vice President of North Fulton Pest Solutions, "periodic cicadas have a tough life. They have a very short period in which to find a mate, and many of them fall victim to predators or are unsuccessful in this regard. For those lucky enough to hear the sounds of the 17 year cicada, just know it's a phenomenon nearly two decades in the making. It's really quite astounding when you think about it!"
