Ants
|
 |
Aside from carpenter ants, most species of ants will not cause significant property damage. But their huge colonies (with as many as millions of inhabitants) and voracious appetites make them a disruptive and hard to control nuisance.

Mosquitoes
|

Stinging Insects
|
 |
Most of us have had the unpleasant experience of being stung by a bee, wasp or other stinging insect at some time in our lives. These stings not only cause the painful local reactions we're all familiar with, but can also cause far more serious, and ever fatal allergic reactions in some people.

Ticks
|
 |
Ticks, which prefer to live in woods, tall grass, weeds and brush, will quickly attach themselves to passing humans and pets. They can transmit Lyme disease, which is now recognized as the number one insect-spread disease in the United States.
