DuPage County was formed on 9 February 1839 out of Cook County. The county took its name from the DuPage River, which was, in turn, named after a French fur trapper, DuPage.
Jeff Hahn, University of Minnesota. Spittlebug is a common insect in strawberries in Minnesota home gardens but it is not usually damaging enough to be considered a problem. The nymphs create a foamy mass that they use for protection.
Most spittlebug infestations can be tolerated with little to no damage to the plant. If control is warranted, however, wash the foamy material off the plant with a water hose. The blast of water will wash the spittlebugs and their nymphs off the plant, thereby controlling them without the use of pesticides.
