As nature’s clock ticks, signaling the emergence of Brood X or Brood XI cicadas, homeowners across the Middle Tennessee region need to brace themselves for the deafening buzz and swarms of these curious insects. However, amidst the anticipation of the cyclical invasion, there lies an opportunity for homeowners to enhance their outdoor living experience and escape the impending cicada phenomenon. Now is the time to invest in a screened-in porch with The Covered Patio, a leading Nashville-based outdoor living contractor, offering a sanctuary from the buzzing invasion and a haven for year-round enjoyment.
Cicadas, with their distinctive buzzing chorus and remarkable life cycles, are a natural phenomenon in certain regions of the United States. Brood X, consisting of periodical cicadas that emerge every 17 years, and Brood XI, emerging every 13 years, are among the most well-known and widespread cicada broods. These insects spend the majority of their lives underground as nymphs before emerging en masse to mate, lay eggs, and complete their life cycle above ground.
The emergence of Brood X and Brood XI cicadas brings with it a spectacle of nature, but it also poses challenges for homeowners, particularly those who enjoy spending time outdoors. The deafening noise, sheer numbers, and debris left behind by cicadas can disrupt outdoor activities, making it less enjoyable to spend time in yards and outdoor spaces.
Amidst the anticipation of the cicada invasion, homeowners have an opportunity to invest in a screened-in porch with The Covered Patio, offering a practical and elegant solution to escape some of the buzz and enjoy the outdoors in peace and comfort. Here’s why now is the perfect time to make this investment:
