What's up with global insect populations these days? Many are on the decline. I'm not a fan of creepy crawlies, but we need them for the benefit of Mother Earth.
I can't tell you how annoyed I am by the sheer amount of fruit flies I have in my Maine home and I found out how to get ride of them, once and for all. Check it out.
Bugs. Insects. Pests. They aren't fun and when they multiple and mate with each other, it's even worse. I am having a huge box elder infestation at my Maine home and this is what I am doing about it.

Creepy, crawly fun at the Maine State Museum tomorrow (9/10) as Bug Maine-ia invades the Maine State Museum. A great learning experience for kids and adults as bugs from around the world (many living) converge under one roof!
Bug Maine-ia will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 11, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Maine State Museum, State St., Augusta. Entomologists, environmental educators, foresters, and others will guide visitors of all ages through the tiny world of insects and show how these creatures affect our lives in many surprising ways. Admission is free of charge all day.
The headline is perfect....not only for me but, judging by some of the looks on the kids' and adults' faces at the Maine State Museum, for a lot of others as well. It was the 10th annual Bug Maine-ia!
