Tips to protect your home during termite season
SUMMARY: Termite season has returned to South Mississippi, with aggressive Formosan termites swarming around lights, especially around Mother’s Day. Bay Pest Control’s Bruno Milanese explains the colonies overpopulate in winter, and reproductives swarm near dusk, attracted to lights. To deter them, he suggests turning off outdoor lights and closing curtains at night. Moisture around the home, particularly above ground, also attracts termites—check for leaks and rotting near eaves, windows, and door frames. Spotting a few wingless termites indoors isn’t urgent, but seeing large numbers signals a need for professional inspection. Annual termite inspections are recommended to prevent damage.

How agencies are battling the flow of illegal weapons and drugs along the I-10 corridor in South Mississippi
SUMMARY: Interstate 10, a major route through South Mississippi, is crucial for both legitimate travel and criminal activities, including drug trafficking by Mexican cartels. The DEA’s Steven Hofer emphasizes that I-10 is used to transport illegal drugs, chemicals, and money. The Harrison County Interdiction Unit plays a key role in intercepting crimes through traffic stops, with notable seizures of drugs and cash. Over the past two years, significant quantities of methamphetamine and fentanyl were seized. Collaboration between local, state, and federal agencies has been vital in reducing illegal activity, contributing to a 40% drop in overdose deaths.
