For fun fact Friday today, we have grasshoppers and crickets! While I don't get called out to treat for these bugs here in Portland, OR or Vancouver, WA. I still think they are interesting. One reason (which happens to be our fun fact for the day)? Some grasshoppers, katydids and crickets actually have ears on their front legs. The ears are located in the knee joints. If people were crickets I bet they'd be really careful about what they whispered into an ear. A knee-jerk reaction would really hurt!
Crickets, grasshoppers, katydids and locusts can really be a problem in some places though. Here's a video about katydids, called Mormon Crickets, in Colorado, done by National Geographic.
While I don't deal with these bugs, there are plenty that I do take care of. If you are having pest problems in Vancouver, WA, Portland, OR, Seattle, WA and the surrounding area, please give me a call! I'd be happy to help you out. Bedbugs, mice, rats, spiders, ants, whatever the pest, we'll develop a custom pest control plan for you.
