Have you noticed all the birds flying around at night? They are everywhere throughout the state of Texas and over the next two days, we will see millions more if the predictions from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Colorado State University hold true.

It's an epic migration of birds and according to the Houston Chronicle, nearly two billion birds pass through Texas which is roughly "one out of every three birds migrating through the United States this spring."

There is even a way for you to track the number and type of birds migrating through the state and county. It's called the BirdCast Migration Dashboard. According to the dashboard, close to 1.8 million birds crossed Lubbock County last night. The dashboard will even tell you the speed at which birds were flying and which birds are likely to be migrating.

According to the Houston Chronicle researchers say turning off outdoor lighting can help protect the birds.

Researchers suggest turning off nonessential lighting from 11p.m. to 6 a.m. to help protect birds,Audobon Texas states.Lights can throw birds off their migration paths, bird fatalities are more directly caused by the amount of energy the birds waste flying around and calling out in confusion.

The "Lights Out, Texas" is a statewide education, awareness and action campaign to address this problem. The highlighted map shows the mass number of birds migrating across Texas. The bird migration forecast maps show predicted nocturnal migration three hours after local sunset and are updated every six hours.

So whether you like to bird watch or not, check out the migration dashboard and see what's in the sky tonight.

Ben Rogers discovered exactly this when he attempted to give his decaying garden patio a new lease of life.

Peterborough-based Ben, 33, was tired of his overgrown space cracking but didnt have the money to pay for a patio installer.

But after some research on YouTube decided to give it a go himself and save thousands in the process.

Ben decided on the design, the materials he would need and worked out the time required for the project. He bought all the materials and equipment for around 3,000.

The project, which took around six weeks to complete, included excavating the ground, laying slate paving slabs, and building a decorative wall bordering the patio and garden.

Talking to My Local Toolbox, Ben said he got the inspiration for the outdoor wall lighting from Philips Hue.

He bought two 5-metre light strips and attached them to the underside of the slate coping

stones creating a modern and stylish look.

Advising those who want to follow in his footsteps Ben added, Make sure you can acquire all the materials before starting and order them immediately, so no unexpected changes need to be made mid-project with materials not being available due to high demand or shipping issues.

If Ben had employed a tradesperson to transform this 38 square metre space, it would have set him back around 8 -10,000.

However, as Ben did all the labour himself, the impressive outdoor patio cost him approximately 3,000, resulting in a massive saving of 7,000

A recent study by Imperial College London and Florida International University challenges the commonly held belief that bugs are attracted to artificial light because they mistake it for moonlight the biologists behind the study suggest that the bugs behavior might be the result of interference with their brain function; instead of flying directly towards the light, insects are found to be drawn towards it from the opposite direction, flying towards it with their butts rather than their heads. This behavior can cause the insects to become trapped in frenzied holding patterns, when they collide with artificial lights.

The researchers used high-resolution motion capture and stereo-videography to observe butterflies, dragonflies, and moths in a laboratory setting. This approach allowed them to study the insects movements in detail and determine how they reacted to different types of artificial light. Their findings showed that bugs were less likely to be affected by downward-facing lights, which suggests that these lights could be an effective way to reduce the number of insects drawn to artificial light sources.

The studys findings have far-reaching implications for both scientists and the public; by challenging long-standing assumptions about insect behavior, this research could help to prevent unintended harm to insect populations caused by artificial lighting. The studys lead author, Dr. Barrett Klein, has called for a shift in how we design outdoor lighting to avoid negative effects on wildlife.

It also sheds a light on the complex relationship between insects and light while its clear that artificial lighting can disrupt their behavior, its also worth noting that insects have evolved to use light in a variety of ways, for example, some species of fireflies use their bioluminescence to attract mates, while others use light to navigate during migration. By understanding how artificial light affects different insect species, researchers can begin to develop more targeted strategies to protect vulnerable populations.

Altogether, this study demonstrates the importance of taking a nuanced approach to understanding the natural world. Although its tempting to rely on simple explanations for complex phenomena, science is rarely so straightforward. We can indeed improve our knowledge of the world and create better methods for safeguarding it by persistently questioning our beliefs and conducting thorough experiments to gather information.

No matter where you live, its likely youll encounter mosquitoes when the temperatures rise. Mosquitoes tend to flock to warm, wet conditions, and standing water offers a breeding ground for these pesky insects. And beyond their annoying buzzing and the itchy bites they leave behind, mosquitoes can pose serious health risks, so its essential to know how to get rid of mosquitoes when they wont leave the property. Luckily, there is a range of tactics to apply to both prevent them from infesting the yard and keep them from returning. And for those wary of using commercial chemical prevention methods, they can opt for natural repellents and dont even need mosquito spray for the house to eliminate the bugs. The following guide will provide step-by-step instructions for how to deter mosquitoes and suggest when its time to hire a professional if the infestation is out of control.

Time required: 1 to 2 hoursDifficulty: BeginnerEstimated cost: $50 to $500

Although it may be tempting to start lighting citronella candles and planting lavender, it helps to properly identify the insects as mosquitoes and determine what level of mosquito infestation is present. This will not only help residents learn how to repel mosquitoes but also come up with a mosquito solution.

First, its important to identify mosquitoes from other similar-looking insects such as crane flies or non-biting midges. Adult mosquitoes have one pair of wings, a humped back, a long biting organ that protrudes from its head, and scales on the veins of its wings. In contrast, crane flies have straighter abdomens with wings that rest farther away from their bodies, while non-biting midges lack the mosquitos distinctive long mouthpart.

Once its confirmed that mosquitoes are indeed present, the next step is to look for signs of a mosquito infestation, as the presence of an occasional mosquito doesnt necessarily mean theres a full-blown infestation that needs to be treated. Some common indicators that the bugs have infested the yard include a constant buzzing sound, spotting mosquitoes during the daytime and at night, frequent mosquito bites, and mosquitoes in shaded areas of the yard. If these signs are present and youre still struggling to figure out how to get rid of mosquitoes outside, DIY methods may not be enough and youll want to reach out to one of the best mosquito control services.

DIY Pest Control. Simplified.

Bob Vila has partnered with Sunday to pest-proof your home & yard this season.

GET YOUR CUSTOM PLAN

Mosquitoes like to lay eggs in water with little to no flow, which is why standing water outside the home can lead to an infestation. Standing water can include anything from a small puddle to water inside a birdbath, trash container, inflatable pool, or outdoor toys. The first priority when figuring out how to get rid of mosquitoes in the backyard will be to eliminate any standing water on a regular basis. Not only will this lessen the presence of mosquitoes around the home, but it will also keep them from coming back.

About once a week, its recommended to do a walk-through of the yard and empty out any items holding water or cover containers without lids that could be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Any open vents or plumbing pipes can also be covered with wire mesh with holes small enough to keep adult mosquitoes from getting through. It also helps to repair any cracks or gaps in the septic tank.

Gutters that are cluttered with debris, leaves, or residual water from recent storms can attract mosquitoes and lead to an infestation. Cleaning the gutters regularly or hiring one of the best gutter cleaning services to do so lessens the risk of inviting mosquitoes near the property. In some cases, it can be what makes mosquitoes go away and not come back.

Mosquitoes are drawn to cool, dark, damp places, and overgrown lawns can provide all three. Regular lawn maintenance such as mowing and trimming keeps adult mosquitoes from nesting and allows any standing water to dry more quickly from sun exposure. The better the grass is maintained, the less likely it is to create a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which can multiply their population easily.

Its also wise to keep bushes trimmed and clean up any yard waste. Additionally, homeowners can consider using cedar mulch in their garden beds, as the cedar oils repel mosquitoes and the mulch can absorb excess moisture.

There are plenty of home remedies to get rid of mosquitoes for those who are wary of applying harsh chemicals or solutions that are dangerous to children or pets but are trying to figure out how to control mosquitoes. The following options are natural, low-risk ways to keep these insects at bay.

When natural methods just wont cut it, residents can try to ward off mosquitoes with pesticides. Commercial products that contain ingredients such as prallethrin, etofenprox, pyrethrins, permethrin, resmethrin, and sumithrin can be found at a local home improvement store and are often dispensed as ultra-low volume (ULV) sprays. Once the liquid is dispensed into the air, it turns into tiny aerosol droplets that kill mosquitoes on contact. If a resident does use commercial pesticides, its best to read the warning labels beforehand, as some ingredients should be kept away from children, pets, or pregnant women.

If the above steps still dont eliminate mosquitoes, it may be time to call a professional mosquito control company (some of the best pest control companies such as Orkin and Terminix may be able to help). These experts will be able to come up with a treatment plan thats tailored to the property and ensures the pesky bugs dont return. Professionals know how to most effectively apply treatments and fumigate for mosquitoes. Bringing in a pro is especially helpful for those who live in regions with high humidity where mosquitoes often run rampant and are harder to control. Plus, a company geared toward eliminating mosquitoes will likely be able to apply treatment multiple times throughout the season to ensure the yard is kept mosquito-free. Mosquito control costs range on average from $350 to $500. This can vary, however, depending on the size of the yard, the size of the infestation, and the type and frequency of the treatment.

The steps above can help residents not only identify the extent of a mosquito problem, but also help put measures in place to keep the nuisances away for good. Although most mosquito bites arent serious, some mosquitoes carry harmful viruses that lead to disease and illness in humans, so its wise to be cautious and handle a mosquito problem sooner rather than later.

Yes. Anything from blood type, sweat, beer consumption, and pregnancy can make some people more attractive to mosquitoes than others. Around 20 percent of humans are more attractive to mosquitoes than the rest.

Mosquitoes seem to like Type O blood the most and Type A blood the least. Additionally, 85 percent of people secrete biochemical markers through their skin that identifies their blood type, while 15 percent do not. Mosquitoes will be more attracted to the secretors, regardless of their blood type.

Mosquitoes hate the smells of lavender, tea tree oil, citronella, and lemon eucalyptus.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), washing the bite with soap and water, applying an ice pack, and applying a paste of baking soda and water can help mosquito bites go away faster.

Yes, if the material is thin or tight-fitting enough, mosquitoes can bite through clothes.

Because direct sunlight can dehydrate them, mosquitoes are most active in the early morning hours before temperatures rise.

Professional mosquito control typically costs between $350 to $500 per season. DIY solutions, like homemade mosquito spray, can cost a few dollars.

You can follow the above steps to kill and repel mosquitoes. If mosquitoes are getting into the house at night while you sleep, a fan pointed at the bed can keep them from landing. Additionally, you can avoid strong-scented body products that may attract mosquitoes.

The average adult mosquito lifespan is 2 to 3 weeks. Females typically live longer than males.

Female mosquitoes bite humans and feed on blood. Male mosquitoes feed on flower nectar and do not bite humans.

CLINTON As the demolition of the building that formerly housed the Strand Theater continues, initial plans for its future development have evolved.

The focus has changed, as have the developers, Clinton City Administrator Matt Brooke told the Clinton Herald about the building at 325 S. Second St. The first developers vision was focused on retail where now, with a different developer, we are looking at housing.

The developer will next provide the city with interior and exterior designs of a building containing multiple levels of living units, rather than those of a single-level commercial building.

The demolition that began April 27 is to be finished by June 1.

The cherry-red exterior made of St. Louis hydraulic-pressed brick in patterns, in which some were recessed and others projected, was once a point of architectural pride.

On Sept. 30, 1911, the Clinton Herald reported that construction of the building was to begin within the next few days, and on Sept. 12, 1912 reported it was practically finished.

The theater scheduled to open two days later was originally called the Royal. By 1916, it had become the Strand and featured movies, vaudeville, and other events, including the 1928 Miss Clinton pageant.

In more recent years, the building housed businesses that included England Music Center and the Retired & Senior Volunteer Program.

The Clinton City Council met in 2019 to decide whether to invest in rehabilitating the building or to demolish it. At that meeting, IMEG Structural Engineer Ali Gharamti told council members the building was not up to code. The lack of ventilation, electricity, general maintenance, and insufficient roofing thatd been damaged by harsh weather had allowed moisture to severely compromise structural integrity, causing mold and mildew, and other issues.

At that same meeting, Clinton Building and Neighborhood Services Building Official Paul Dotterweich said the work needed for the structure to be safe again, aside from being functional, would be extensive and that alone could cost the city as much as $340,000.

The free concert will open at 4 p.m. and feature a variety of food truck vendors and beverages for sale.

Jewett music spot: Pennington's makes its mark as eastern Ohio entertainment venue

Activities start at 6 p.m. with recognition of donors who helped fund the construction of the stage and sponsors of the Summer Concert Series. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will commence and music starts at 6:30 with local Cadiz country music and recording artist Ashley Best and the Set em Up Band with special guest Abby Dodds. Following up will be local favorites The Hoard and Jones Band with special guest Cody Romshak.

Neal McCoy is an Ohio Valley fan favorite. In 1993, he broke through with the back-to-back No. 1 singles "No Doubt About It" and "Wink" from his platinum-certified album "No Doubt About It." His commercial success continued into the late 1990s with two more platinum albums and a gold album, as well as seven more Top 10 hits.

McCoy will take the stage at 9:30 p.m. A post-concert fireworks display will close the evening's festivities.

The Mark came to fruition through state grants and many local businesses and private individuals whose names are recognized on the stage right outer passage wing. Designed by Mark Puskarich and Kelly Architectural Services and constructed by local contactor Border Patrol Construction with support by various local and regional contractors, the opening is the culmination of three years of planning and construction.

Additional concerts will be posted on the Sally Buffalo Park Facebook page.
