Orkin Fact or Fake Giveaway!
With kids around, bugs are always going to be around too. This isn't just the truth if you have little boys around. When I was little, my sister and I collected bugs, studied them and she even had a bug box! 

As creepy as bugs can be, they're absolutely fascinating too. We have a strict "no kill" policy in our family, since each bug has their own purpose. Spiders eat the mosquitoes and other gross creatures we don't know about. And those horrible house centipedes?  Completely harmless to us, but they take care of other bad guys. 

But how much do we know about bugs? Is all correct information or have do we not know the whole truth? Orkin has a fun interactive app (below) that you can use to see how much Bug knowledge you might have. Take the quiz, then enter to win a Back to School Scientific bug kid for your little one!

But recently found out that in 1991 75% of the monarch population that migrated to Mexico froze to death in a harsh winter. Each year since then there have been lower numbers found each winter migrating. So, what do we do about it?
