Experts say SoCal’s record winter rainfall is contributing to explosion of mosquitoes, bees and gnats
It’s something a lot of people have noticed around Southern California lately: bugs. Bugs, bugs and more bugs, everywhere you look. … It’s not just nuisance bugs and gnats but it’s also mosquitoes and bees. It all adding up to a busy season so far for pest control experts. “I’ve been real busy,” said Nick Cappellano, who owns Allied Pest Control. “I average between 16 and 22 jobs a day, responding to all sorts of things: ants, spiders, ear wigs, which are considered the pincher bugs that end up in the house.” For those wondering why we’re seemingly under attack this spring, experts say look no further than all the record rain we received over the winter.
