State bug expert stumped by Dayton infestation

The Nevada Department of Agriculture says seed bugs, or Melacoryphus lateralis, have invaded homes from Reno to Fernley. Debbie and Ed Oversen just moved into their new house in Dayton a month ago but just a few weeks after that, the bugs started invading their house by the thousands. "We've been vacuuming forever, vacuuming until 3 AM," says Debbie. "Vacuuming bugs, zapping them off the wall, the ceiling and everything else." State Entomologist Jeff Knight says he's not sure why the bugs come in such large numbers. He said the bugs are expected to stick around for the next few weeks, before dying out on their own. Experts say the bugs feed on vegetations native to the area. But they say the insects are now focused on reproducing, and most likely won't harm your plants. The seed bugs are attracted to white ultraviolet lights so avoid placing those around your house. Also bug sprays or insecticidal soap should help in the short term. The Nevada Department of Agriculture also says the bugs are not boxelder bugs, and there is no connection between these and the fires burning in California.  (Jul 12, 2008 | post #2)

Levee Breaks in Nevada, 3,500 Stranded

We are Nevada and still carry the pioneer spirit. That means we deal with it, help each other and are not whiners. Yes, many of us are flooded out. But the waters will recede and we will repair the damage one way or another. It takes what it takes to get the job done. And we'll all pull together to get it done. The evac center was quiet and clean. Most came in, had something warm to drink, a bite to eat and waited for friends or relatives to pick them up. Everyone is helping each other. Any FEMA trailers that were paid for by our tax dollars and parked, we'll gladly take while we rebuild. You can bet your bottom dollar we won't be complaining about the smell. Most of you don't know what Nevadatude is. But the people that live here have got it. There's a little bit of the Wild West in all of us. And this is a great place to live. Personally I'm not one to expect someone else to take care of my life for me.  (Jan 6, 2008 | post #19)
