Billions of Cicadas Are Coming in Spring 2025—Is Your Landscape Ready? 🪰🌳

Get ready for a spring like no other! In May 2025, Brood XIV of the periodical cicadas will emerge by the billions after spending 17 years underground—and they’re heading straight for trees and shrubs across the eastern U.S.

🌍 Heavily Affected States Include:

• Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts

While cicadas don’t bite or sting, they can seriously damage young trees and shrubs when females lay eggs in small branches, causing them to split and wilt—a process called "flagging."

🛡️ Protect Your Plants Before They Hatch!
The best defense? Dalen Cicada-X Tree & Shrub Protective Netting:

• 3/8" mesh keeps cicadas out while letting sunlight and rain in

• Generous 14' x 14' size covers small trees and large shrubs

• Easy to install and remove

🕒 Don’t wait until the swarm arrives! Soil temps only need to hit 64°F for cicadas to burst onto the scene—and when they do, it’ll be loud, fast, and overwhelming.

🎯 Be proactive—protect your landscape investment today!

If you are looking for a humane way to keep your garden free of pests, installing barriers such as netting and fencing is an excellent option to consider.
