The cicadas are coming to several eastern states in the U.S. this May/June, and whether you're ready or not, your yard is about to get millions of Brood X visitors. Here is how to protect your yard and home this cicada season 👇 Make sure you’re using lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and leaf blowers at the right times. Cicadas may gravitate towards the loud buzzing that a lawn mower makes, so plan to do yard work in the early morning or at dusk when it’s cooler to avoid cicadas swarming.
