No, I’m not talking about a bad science fiction movie — I’m talking about how the range of many of our “peskier” insects and pests are expanding thanks to our changing climate.
I know it’s hard to think about insects and other pests during the middle of the winter. But as the weather begins to warm we’ll again be inundated with bugs of all kinds. Furthermore, as the global temperature has slowly increased, so has the range of insect pests.
