American Cockroach
A large, reddish-brown cockroach that lives mostly in warm, damp places like sewers, drains, and basements, wandering indoors in search of food, water, or shelter from harsh weather.
Argentine Ant
A tiny dull-brown invasive ant that forms enormous multi-queen "supercolonies" and follows long indoor trails to sweets and water, especially when the weather turns wet or hot and dry.
Black Carpenter Ant
A large, dull-black ant that nests in moist or decaying wood, tunneling galleries to build its colony rather than eating the wood like a termite.
Drain Fly
A small, fuzzy moth-like fly whose larvae develop in the organic film inside drains, sewers, and standing water; the adult is a harmless nuisance and the larva is a beneficial decomposer.
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 Centipede
A fast, long-legged centipede with a dirty-yellow striped body that lives in damp, dark corners of homes and hunts insects and spiders at night; alarming to look at but harmless, and actually a beneficial predator.
Odorous House Ant
A tiny brown-to-black household ant that gives off a sharp, rotten-coconut smell when crushed and trails indoors after sweets, especially in damp weather.
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.
Springtail
A tiny, wingless soil arthropod, smaller than a grain of rice, that jumps with a spring-loaded fork under its body and shows up indoors in damp spots like bathrooms, basements, and overwatered houseplants.
