As we usher in 2024 we also will face a rare, synchronized cicada outbreak not seen since 1803! Two broods will emerge in late April—the 13-year brood and the 17-year brood. This once-in-a-lifetime event will see cicadas in Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowa, Missouri, Louisiana, North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland. This alignment of the two broods happens only once every 221 years.
Cicadas are known to emit a high-pitched buzz that can reach up to 100 decibels. Although they are harmless to humans, they will be noisy and they can destroy your trees and shrubs. Female cicadas cut slits in small branches of trees so they can lay their eggs. This causes the branch to die. A single female produces up to 600 eggs. Their life cycle typically lasts about six weeks, so protecting your trees from these broods will be essential.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggests covering trees in mesh or netting with ¼” holes. Industrial Netting has just the material you need. It is a disposable netting that is wrapped completely around the tree or shrub and tied off with zip ties to keep insects from finding an entry path.
Find more details and watch a video here about how our netting can help protect your trees.

After 17 years of living underground, the Brood X Cicadas are now emerging in 15 states! Be ready to hear bugs singing for 5 to 6 weeks in the states of Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington D.C.
It is so important for your trees and shrubs to be protected throughout the emergence. Once the Cicadas emerge they are going to head straight for high ground and away from predators. Unfortunately, this high ground is your trees! Once they reach the trees, male and female Cicadas will mate. After mating, the trillions of female Cicadas move to the smaller branches of trees and lay their eggs within them causing significant damage. Once this process is over the Cicadas fall from the trees and weeks later the baby cicadas hatch and burrow back under the ground for another 17 years. What a process!
This article from the Star Tribune, “Nature at its craziest: Trillions of cicadas about to emerge” outlines what to expect during the largest emergence in 17 years.
If you are amongst the people who live in the states of emergence don’t be afraid – it is not too late to get your Cicada Control Netting from Industrial Netting to protect your trees! Our Netting ships after 24 hours and can be ordered online for your convenience. You can contact us with any questions.
Our Cicada Netting has 1/4″ hole openings not allowing cicadas to get through to your trees. We also provide heavy duty 7″, 14″ or 24″ cable ties for attaching the netting to trees.
Watch this video to learn all about our netting and how it can help you during this emergence!
Good luck and have fun listening to the fun songs of Cicadas this spring!
This spring you can expect the largest Cicada Outbreak in 17 years throughout the months of May through June. This emergence of Brood X, 17-year cicadas leaves young trees vulnerable to damage. Once the ground level reaches 64 degrees F, the Cicadas will emerge searching for trees and shrubs to latch onto and lay their eggs beneath the bark of twigs and branches. The egg laying process has the potential to cause significant damage to young trees to the point that they can die.
Watch this video for installation instructions and to learn how Cicada Control Netting from Industrial Netting can protect your property during the largest outbreak in 17-years.
