What causes cicada infestations?

Cicada infestations occur when they emerge in large numbers, typically in cycles. These insects are attracted to trees and shrubs where they lay their eggs. Dense vegetation and suitable soil conditions for their nymphs to burrow into can contribute to cicada activity around homes and gardens.

How do I get rid of a cicada infestation?

To get rid of a cicada infestation, start by reducing dense vegetation and trimming trees and shrubs where cicadas lay their eggs. Remove and properly dispose of fallen branches and other plant debris. Use fine mesh netting to cover young or vulnerable plants to prevent cicadas from laying eggs on them. Apply horticultural oil to tree trunks and branches to deter egg-laying. Keep your lawn well-maintained and free of overgrown grass and weeds. During peak cicada emergence periods, minimize outdoor lighting at night to reduce attraction. Encourage natural predators, such as birds and small mammals, by providing suitable habitats. In cases of severe infestations, contact Aptive for a professional pest management plan that includes targeted treatments and long-term preventive strategies. Regular monitoring and maintenance can help protect your property from future cicada infestations and reduce their impact on your outdoor spaces. Ensure that all measures comply with local regulations and environmental guidelines.
