The pesky bugs arrived in full force this weekend. So far the inconvenience has been much less than the gnats in the back yard. Doug has been busy picking them up and throwing them off the apple and cheery trees.
The maple tree seems to be the most popular place - the ground around the tree has not been disturbed in 17 years.

The pile of exoskeletons and dead carcasses at the base of the maple tree is attracting flies and starting to smell. Gross.
The hard plastic wrapping at the base of the peach tree has prevented all the bugs from climbing up! There are 2-3 that have flown onto the tree, but for the most part the hard plastic stopped them.
