Problematic pests fall into one or more of 4 categories:

• Destructive pests that destroy your property and can cause serious damage to structures. These include mice, termites, carpenter ants and carpenters bees.
• Disease carrying pests pose a health threat because they can introduce dangerous diseases to humans and pets. These include mice, mosquitoes, fleas, and cockroaches.
• Stinging and biting pests can be aggressive and harmful to humans, and are especially dangerous in homes that have a stinging insect allergy. These include ants, wasps, bees, and certain spiders.
• Nuisance pests are just downright creepy. Practically every pest falls into the category, including bugs that are technically harmless but still aren’t very pleasant to share a home with, such as millipedes, Asian lady beetles and box elder bugs.
