Mole crickets are active in coastal areas and have begun their mating flights. Egg laying will occur in May and egg hatch in late May and throughout June. Treatments are most effective when applied to the newly-hatched nymphs during June. Fire ants have also become quite active and baits will work quite well in the spring when workers are actively foraging. Be sure and use fresh bait and carefully follow label directions.
Cutworms are active on golf course putting greens.
These infestations can continue until Thanksgiving, so be vigilant in monitoring for their presence. The various nuisance pests have become very active in recent weeks. Millipedes, sowbugs, ticks, fleas are all out in force. Only the ticks are of real concern to humans. I have seen a lot of them this spring, so beware.
