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.
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.
Tawny Crazy Ant
A small, uniformly reddish-brown invasive ant that swarms in huge numbers across the Gulf Coast, moving in fast, erratic trails and nesting in soil, debris, and electrical equipment rather than in tidy mounds.
Yellow Fever Mosquito
A small dark, day-biting container mosquito with lyre-shaped thorax markings that breeds in standing water around homes and is the primary vector of yellow fever, dengue, Zika, and chikungunya viruses.
