    Mistletoe Marble Moth, Christmas Tree Hitchhikers & Jon Levron

    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!

    Glasswing Butterfly, Asian Lady Beetle & Michael Anderson

    With Thanksgiving right around the corner, Chris and Kolby talk about their favorite dish for the big day--and reveal what was voted as the favorite for the entire company.  On the "Insect Profile" segment they discuss the very interesting Glasswing Butterfly.  It's unique from other butterflies because, as it's name suggests, it's wings are transparent and appear almost like glass.  The "Control Corner" segment will cover a prominent pest that many operators are familiar with this time of year...the Asian Lady Beetle.  Finally on "Tech Talk" Michael Anderson joins the show to talk about his thirty-plus years in the industry and also reveals which A-list celebrity he ran into and had a conversation with not long ago in downtown Natchez, MS.  All this and much more on this edition of the "Redd Man Podcast"!
