BOUNTIFUL: STINK BUGS, SPIDERS , FLIES AND GNATS

(05/15/2023)
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. Calhoun did not have a measurable snow 2022-23.

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.
