Iguanas Are Falling Out Of The Sky In Florida!

Posted on January 12, 2010 with 2 Comments

Well not really. As many of you may have heard, Florida is experiencing a cold front, which put temperatures into the 40’s. This has made it uncomfortable for many residents because they are used to the high 60’s. The chance of below freezing temperatures worries citrus growers. If the temperatures stay cold, the $6.5 billion dollar orange market could be wiped out for the season.

Remember our post about increased rodent activity in Florida?

What else is happening because of the weather? Iguanas appear to be dropping dead out of trees! When the weather gets cold, Iguanas temporarily become paralyzed, and look frozen. The video below shows a 3 ½ year old girl going around her yard picking these Iguanas up and relocating them out of their yard. These reptiles feed off of many plants, especially in gardens. Check out the video below!

A senior prank went wrong…Pest Management Professionals were called into a Rowan County school district in North Carolina because of the criminal acts of eight students. The students release over 7,000 crickets into the area where 10th graders attend classes. All of the students were charged with breaking and entering by police, and suspended from school.e

Crickets are a summer pest that will enter homes when there is heavy moisture present. When present, they can be a huge nuisance because of the sound they make.  Read more about crickets in our pest library.
