Maureen Cavanaugh: The rainy season in San Diego was not wet enough to stop talk of water rationing this summer. But apparently there was just enough rain to create a bumper crop of bugs. San Diego County is predicting more than the usual amount of caterpillers, ants, earwigs and the rest, along with some new species of bugs just arrived in San Diego from foreign plants and trees.

So, bugs love San Diego, but most San Diegans don't return the affection. We'll find out which bugs to avoid, which bugs to remove and learn about a bug or two that may not be so bad after all.

Deebeeman goes into every story about bugs and insinuates an ad (or two) for his services in the comments. Dishonest - and contrary to the aims of this board, and of public radio. This is indicative of the type of behavior that gets companies like yours the 1-star reviews on Yelp.
