BOUNTIFUL: STINK BUGS, SPIDERS , FLIES AND GNATS

(05/02/2024)
This year in Calhoun there will be large crop of stink bugs and spiders.

It will be a great year for all bugs, including flies and gnats, likely linked to the warm season, with Calhoun having few measurable snows.

Stanley Mills, director of the Division of Environmental Services with the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department, says to expect a big crop of stink bugs.

"Other than being a nuisance, they do not harm anything," Mills said.

There appears to be a bigger crop of spiders including the giant Wood Spider.

The gnats are everywhere. When they really get bad, when cool weather comes in fall.
