Adair Co. Extension Agent report Oct. 20, 2006: Asian ladybugs Many in Adair County are at war, as you read this, with the bugs my mother-in-law calls "Volkswagen bugs." David Herbst sends the most complete information the bugs, which are quite beneficial outside, but whose indoor manners are revolting. Fascinating information about how they came to interior Kentucky through Hickman and how, once they are inside a home, the weapon of choice is a vacuum cleaner. And the cute critters can "bite." Not enough information for a doctorate here, but surely more than enough to become an expert. -Ed Waggener By David Herbst, Adair County Extension Agent for Agriculture ASIAN LADY BEETLE INFESTATON OF STRUCTURES Large numbers of lady beetles (ladybugs) infesting homes and buildings in the United States were first reported in the early 1990s. Ladybugs normally are considered beneficial since they live outdoors and feed on plant pests. One species of lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis, can be a nuisance however, when they fly to buildings in search of overwintering sites and end up indoors. Once inside they crawl about on windows, walls, attics, etc., often emitting a noxious odor and yellowish staining fluid before dying.

Fish and Wildlife Resources alerts motorists to fall deer dangers Link to an extensive Kentucky State Police report on deer-auto difficulties at the end of this story. The report has very interesting statistics on Adair County, which show a high average number of deer-related collisions here (31 per year). That is higher than any neighboring county except Taylor. - ED WATCH OUT FOR DEER CROSSING IN ROADS AT THIS TIME OF YEAR Frankfort, KY. Falls shorter days and longer nights mean white-tailed deer will soon be on the move, searching for mates. The peak of the deer breeding season occurs in mid-November, and motorists should pay attention for deer crossing the roadways, especially in rural areas. ?"Vehicle collisions with deer in Kentucky are highest in November," said Tina Brunjes, big game coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "Motorists should slow down and be alert when driving, particularly in areas where the woods come close to the road. Deer can quickly dart out from the wooded area and into the road."
