Ants

On the hunt for food, a single ant can lead the way for the entire colony to invade your home. The best way to control the problem is to find the nest and remove the queen.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches can spread germs, make allergies worse and multiply at a record-breaking speed.

Rodents

Because rodents multiply so quickly, just a few can lead to an out-of-control infestation before you know it.

Termites

More homes are damaged by termites each year than by fire.

Crickets

House crickets can damage silk, woolens, paper, fruits and vegetables. They can eat almost anything available.

Spiders

Not only are their webs a nuisance around the house, but spiders can inflict painful, sometimes dangerous bites.

Flies

Find out how flies carry more than 100 pathogens that can cause dangerous diseases in humans and animals, such as typhoid, polio and tuberculosis--and how to control these pests.

Fleas

Fleas feed on human blood through small bites in the skin. They can jump from your carpet up to your ankles and calves, and a female flea can produce up to 800 eggs during her lifetime.

Ticks

Ticks carry many serious diseases, including Lyme disease, encephalitis and typhus. They can live for over 500 days without a meal.

Bees

Wasps can be distinguished from bees by their smooth, rather than hairy, bodies. Very protective of their nests, the will defend against invaders with painful stings. The common bee sting, while harmless to most people, can be very painful.
