Episode Details

Our song of the summer is the sound of cicadas. Jody Green from Douglas-Sarpy County Extension joins Hanna to talk about the essential Nebraska summer insects, cicadas and fireflies. Learn how to support these bastions of summer in your yard and garden by listening now.

Update: Soil drenching can kill the eggs of cicadas, but it doesn't appear to impact nymphs.
