Horticulturists and pest control experts are encouraging home gardeners to prepare for a cicada infestation coming this spring. In April, two groups of the insects belonging to the order Hempitera are predicted to co-emerge - an occurrence last seen in 1803.
It was a scientific study from the University of Connecticut that identified the imminent infestation, which will be prominent in the Midwest and Southeast of the US. Unfortunately for gardeners in these areas, these large insects are likely to damage plants.
