“my first experience with the influx of cicadas and wanted to hear any advice on prepping my garden?”

“Dear PoPville,

Hi neighbors! This will be my first experience with the influx of cicadas and wanted to hear any advice on prepping my garden? I completely redid my front yard 6 months ago (including new tree/shrubs/flowers) and heard while they do not eat plants, they can still destroy them.

A majority of us have cleaned up our yards with the new season and was wondering if anyone put netting on new plants in preparation? Some gardening sites have said to do so.”

another readers asks:

“I have only been in the area a few years and recently added potted trees to my a second floor deck. I had been thinking about the upcoming cicada invasion as an on the ground issue but am starting to worry that being a floor removed will not actually provide enough protection. Can’t seem to find good online advice and am hoping some of your readers might be able to share their experience!”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
