Fire ant mounds in the sun, carpenter ants in the walls, sugar ant trails in the kitchen.
Cockroaches
American, German, and Oriental roaches: nocturnal, tough, and a real health hazard.
Fleas & Ticks
Blood-feeding hitchhikers that ride wildlife and pets in, then dig into carpet and grass.
Mosquitoes
Breeds in a bottle cap of water and owns the backyard at dawn and dusk.
Rodents
House mice, Norway rats, and roof rats: a dime-sized gap is all they need.
Scorpions
The striped bark scorpion glows under UV light and hides in shoes and firewood.
Spiders
Mostly harmless hunters, plus two you should take seriously: the widow and the recluse.
Stinging Insects
Paper wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets, at their most defensive in late summer.
Termites
Silent, year-round, and responsible for billions in damage insurance never covers.
Wildlife
Raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and the rest of the crowd moving into local attics.
