Bug invasion causing problems in western Colorado

Posted: 06.21.2012 at 5:43 PM

GRAND JUNCTION, COLO. (AP) -- A bug invasion blamed on warmer weather is causing problems on Colorado's western slope.

The bugs are clogging radiators, damaging cars and irritating residents.

Colorado State University entomologist Bob Hammon tells KJCT-TV the invasion is being caused by last year's plentiful food supply and a milder winter.
