This Christmas-themed episode of the Redd Man Podcast begins with a look at the rare Mistletoe Marble Moth. The name makes you think of Christmas, but when you hear what it looks like--well, it's pretty unfortunate. Or is it? Evolution in natural selection isn't always pretty, but it works! For our "Control Corner" segment, Kolby explains what all possible pests could be lurking within your freshly cut Christmas tree! But don't worry...we also talk about how to handle and/or prevent it from becoming an issue in the first place. Speaking of Christmas trees, what do the associates of Redd Pest Solutions prefer? Artificial, real...or no tree at all? We will talk about that and much more on this edition of the Redd Man Podcast!
