There Are Up To 25,000 Bugs In The Average Christmas Tree
- 7 years ago
According to Safer Brand, an organic gardening and pest control company, there could be up to 25,000 insects and arachnids crawling around your Christmas tree. Aphids, spiders, mites, bark beetles and even praying mantises all could be your new holiday guests. While this may sound alarming on many levels, there's no reason to fear these insects. Most of them are microscopic, so you're unlikely to notice them in the first place, and most of them are likely to stay on the tree.
