- SpidersSome spiders like moisture and are found in crawl spaces and other damp parts of buildings. Others like dry, warm areas such as subfloor air vents, upper corners of rooms and attics. They hide in dark areas.
- TermitesSince subterranean termites build their nests underground, damaged wood usually has an accumulation of soil or mud within the tunnels of the wood they are eating.
- FleasFleas can transmit diseases when taking a blood meal from a host or via contaminated fecal pellets. Some flea-borne diseases include: Plague - transmitted by the Oriental rat flea. Flea-borne typhus, also known as murine typhus - transmitted by the bacteria-infested feces of infected cat fleas when they enter the body at the time of the flea's bite or from scratching the area of the bite.
- CockroachesA cockroach can survive for 1 - 2 weeks without its head, and live 2 weeks without water and a month without food. The shed skins and waste produced by cockroaches can trigger allergic reactions, asthma and other illnesses, especially in children.
- SilverfishSilverfish are nocturnal and move very quickly. They are secretive, and the severity of an infestation may go unnoticed for long periods of time, allowing for exponential growth.
- BeesHoney bees are the only surviving group of bees from the Apini tribe, which is under the Apis genus. They are known for producing and storing honey, or liquefied sugar, as well as building impressively large nests using wax secreted by workers in a particular colony.
- WaspsWasp species are categorized as social or solitary. As their name implies, social wasps live in colonies, which may number in the thousands. Within these colonies, female workers perform all duties within the nest.
- TicksOf the ticks found in the south-eastern United States, the brown dog and American dog ticks are the most troublesome. The brown dog tick rarely bites humans, but infestations are frequently found on dogs and in the home.
- CricketsMole crickets are common turf grass pests. Three species of mole crickets are considered pests in the Southeast United States: tawny, southern, and short-winged mole crickets.
- EarwigsThere is a superstition that earwigs burrow into the ears of people while they sleep. This is a myth and without any scientific basis. Earwigs frighten many people because of the pincers on the back of their abdomens. Earwigs use these pincers for defense and for sparing with rival earwigs.There are more than twenty species of earwigs in the United States. They are slender insects with two pair of wings. Some species produce a foul smelling liquid that they use for defense.
- MosquitoesZika is a virus that is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. The illness spreads when a mosquito feeds on an infected person, then infects others through its bites. Mosquitoes are the vector for Zika and it's rare for the virus to spread from person to person, although there has been a recently confirmed case of sexually transmitted Zika in Dallas.
- FliesMore than 100 pathogens are associated with the house fly, including Salmonella, Staphylococcus, E. coli and Shigella. These pathogens can cause disease in humans and animals, including typhoid fever, cholera, bacillary dysentery and hepatitis. Sanitation is critical to controlling these pests, but accurate identification is essential for successful fly control.
- BeetlesApplied by Pest Management Professionals (PMPs), Tim-bor Professional is a water soluble borate powder that can be applied as a dust, spray, foam or mist onto wood and cellulosic materials or inside wall voids, cracks and crevices. Depending on the moisture content of the materials, the liquid solution will penetrate to create a protective envelope, acting as a preservative, insecticide and fungicide. The dust provides an additional layer of protection by killing carpenter ants, dry wood alates and adult wood boring beetles that enter the structure and pass through it.
- Moles
- RaccoonsMole crickets make tunnels in the ground, severing grass roots and causing the earth to bulge upwards. They also eat the roots and shoots of grass. Mole cricket damage looks like ugly brown patches. Predators such as raccoons and armadillos may further dig up the turf to snack on the crickets. Mole crickets do the most damage from late August to early October. There is one generation of mole crickets per year, with eggs typically being laid in April and May. Mole crickets are nocturnal, which means they do their dirty work at night.
- Armadillos

- MiceThe Order Rodentia is comprised of over 2,000 species, which are subdivided into many families. The Capromyidae, Castoridae, Cricetidae, Erethizontidae, Muridae, Sciuridae and Dipodidae are some of the most common families. The Family Muridae is the largest, containing nearly two-thirds of all rodent species. This family includes several subfamilies and includes sand rats, gerbils, crested rats and old world rats and mice.
- RatsIf one sees food packages that appear to be chewed into, a mouse infestation may be a possibility. Rats can harbor and transmit a number of serious diseases. They can also introduce disease-carrying parasites such as fleas and ticks into your home. Homeowners may seek homemade solutions to their rodent problems. They may try a variety of repellents such as mothballs or even essential oils. These homemade methods are not capable of addressing full-blown rodent infestations.
- SquirrelsFleas commonly prefer to feed on hairy animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, squirrels, rats, mice and other domesticated or wild animals. Fleas do not have wings, although they are capable of jumping long distances. Eggs are not attached to the host. Eggs will hatch on the ground, in rugs, carpet, bedding, upholstery or cracks in the floor. Most hatch within two days.
