Animal Facts
Insect Information
Although some animals are cute, the damage
they can cause to your home is devastating. Most animals are capable of carrying dangerous diseases
and will bite
if they are frightened or angered. They can cause structural and wiring damage (a potential fire hazard) to your home by chewing, as well as create a toxic environment with their feces
and urine. This can be harmful to humans and may become a larger problem if the contamination includes the insulated areas such as in an attic or wall.

Ants
Ants are social insects that live in colonies. They usually live outdoors, but will enter structures for food and shelter. By the year 2000, ants replaced cockroaches as the most difficult insect to control in structures. With the biology and habits of many ant species being different, treatment and control methods may vary.
Cockroaches
Although cockroaches are not social insects, they commonly occur in groups. Cockroaches are among the most common pests of houses and commercial structures. Not only are they a nuisance, but they are also known to carry many common disease pathogens, as well as causing allergies in many people.
Wasps & Bees
Wasps and bees are for the most part a beneficial insect. However, with the proximity of their nests to humans, the danger of bites and stings can be high.
Fleas
Fleas are one of the more important pests, not only because of the discomfort of their bites, but they can also transmit several diseases such as plague and typhus.
