A small, dark-legged tick of the eastern and north-central United States that feeds on mammals and birds and is the main carrier of the Lyme disease bacterium.Boxelder Bug
A black-and-red true bug that feeds on female boxelder trees in summer and gathers on and inside warm buildings in fall, making it a harmless cool-season nuisance pest.Brown Dog Tick
A reddish-brown three-host tick that strongly prefers dogs as its host and is unusual in being able to complete its entire life cycle indoors, infesting homes and kennels.Brown Marmorated Stink Bug
A shield-shaped, mottled-brown invasive stink bug from East Asia that crowds into homes in fall to overwinter and releases a foul odor when disturbed, but does not bite, breed indoors, or damage the structure.Brown-banded Cockroach
A small indoor cockroach that favors warm, dry, elevated spots throughout a building, named for the pale bands across its wings and abdomen.Camel Cricket
A wingless, humpbacked cricket with long legs and antennae that lives in cool, damp, dark places like caves and crawl spaces, wandering into basements and garages when it seeks shelter and moisture.Chigger
The tiny, biting larval stage of a mite that lives in tall grass and weedy fields, latching onto people who pass through and leaving a cluster of intensely itchy welts where clothing fits tight.Clover Mite
A tiny reddish-brown plant-feeding mite, recognized by an extra-long front pair of legs, that lives on lawns and ornamentals and pours into buildings in large numbers during spring and cool spells, harmless but prone to leaving red stains when crushed.Eastern Subterranean Termite
A soil-dwelling, wood-eating social insect that is the most widely distributed termite species in the eastern United States and a major structural pest.European Earwig
A reddish-brown, nocturnal insect best known for the pincer-like forceps at the tip of its abdomen; it shelters in damp, dark spots by day and sometimes wanders into homes in large numbers.Formosan Subterranean Termite
An invasive subterranean termite that builds enormous underground colonies and aerial carton nests, attacking structural wood and even living trees far faster than native termites.German Cockroach
A small indoor cockroach found worldwide in association with humans, living near food, water, and warmth in kitchens, bathrooms, restaurants, and food-storage areas.House Cricket
A light yellowish-brown cricket with three dark bands across its head that lives outdoors in warm weather and moves into buildings when it turns cool, best known for the male's chirping and for being raised as fishing bait and pet food.Oriental Cockroach
A large, dark, slow-moving cockroach that favors cool, damp places like basements, drains, crawl spaces, and outdoor foundation areas, and is often called a "waterbug."Pacific Dampwood Termite
A large, caramel-to-dark-brown termite of the Pacific coast that nests inside moist, water-damaged wood rather than in soil, found from British Columbia to Baja California.Silverfish
A small, wingless, silver-gray insect with a teardrop shape and three tail-like bristles that lives in cool or damp indoor spaces and feeds on paper, starch, and other carbohydrate-rich materials.Smokybrown Cockroach
A large, uniformly dark mahogany-brown peridomestic cockroach of the warm southern U.S. that breeds outdoors in mulch, woodpiles, and tree holes and flies indoors, especially into attics, on warm humid evenings.Western Drywood Termite
A wood-nesting termite of the western U.S. that lives entirely inside dry, sound wood — framing, furniture, dead tree limbs — without any contact with soil, betraying itself mainly by piles of tiny six-sided fecal pellets.
