bugs

Here are the 10 creepiest bugs you can find in New York and some of them can give you a pretty bad bite, blister the skin or just make your skin crawl by how creepy they are.

Stink Bug season is back.  But you know what?  There actually seems like a fairly easy way to get rid of them. I know I always say that it's the best time of the year, because frankly the Fall is (as a lover of all things Fall).  But, Stink Bugs can be pests...

Ticks ticks ticks.  They're everywhere.  And they seem to be getting worse each season. But a new warning was recently issued about ticks, and it's not for humans. CBS 6 Albany reported about a Burnt Hills Veterinarian recently finding about 60 ticks on a barn cat...

You may have not liked how this winter started, but because of the freezing cold temperatures, it may have knocked out one of the most annoying insects.

That whole Polar Vortex thing wasn't too much fun to deal with.  Even though it's not surprising to have cold temperatures during the winter in New York.  However, it looks like some bugs survived, and some may have not made the cut. Oddly enough, I read a list on PestWorld about bugs and the Polar Vortex...

West Nile Virus has popped up again, near the Capital Region. It seems like these bug-borne illnesses are getting worse and worse each ear, from ticks to mosquitoes, causing everything from swelling of your brain to an allergy to meat...

Ok, well you wouldn't exactly think that an office building would be prone to this issue but in fact, one of the state buildings is dealing with it.

So year in and year out you see these things. They seem relatively harmless, however I am not a scientist and can't verify that. Here is why there is an influx of them currently.

We were literally itching for hours after just taking pictures of it.

Orkin recently put together the top 50 worst cites for mosquitoes, Albany should maybe break out a citronella candle or five.

I have been board before, but never has the thought to cram a couple of giant hairy spiders in my mouth never crossed my mind.

One of the more ear wrenching sound clips played on "The Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show" is Hot Wings mimicking a moth chewing on the inside of Eric Zane's ear. What if that moth and a tick were stuck inside the ear, though, just to double down on the gross?
