Orkin LLC has given us access to a handy little app that answers some bug myths for us as well as an awesome prize pack to give away!
We hear tons of sayings about bugs all the time. There are so many bugs out there and probably an equal amount of myths and old wives tales to go along with them. For example:
- “Daddy longlegs are poisonous.”
- “Mosquitoes prefer adults over children.” (tell that to my kids legs!)
- “Ants can survive underwater.”
I’d say many parents “back in the day” made up stories just to keep their kids from messing around with bugs. Maybe they were scared of them so they made up a story. Who knows? Either way, do you know what’s fact and what’s fake?
