area, then you're bound to run into an insect or two during the course of your life. In fact, if you're particularly unlucky, you may even experience an invasion of insects in your home!

of carpenter ants. They can be red or black —and sometimes even a combination of both. They are large ants that can grow into colonies of over 5,000. They can typically be found near dead trees or old firewood, where they will chew through the wood. The presence of large outdoor colonies will generally pose a risk of an infestation inside.
carpenter ant, odorous house ants can become a real nuisance. They tend to create small, numerous nests around the home inside of cracks, attics and wall voids. They're also smaller than carpenter ants and produce a strange rotten coconut smell.
the more common types of wood boring beetles. They'll chew through your property's trees or your home's wooden structural elements, leaving behind nothing but sawdust. They will lay eggs on the wood so that once they hatch, they can begin burrowing through the wood right away. They tend to be smaller, brownish insects.
not everyone can identify it. In fact, many other types of bugs are misidentified as bed bugs—mostly out of panic. Bed bugs are extremely small, round and flat—and are brownish-reddish in color. They spread easily and bite in order to feed on blood, which is why they can become such a serious issue.
bee found all over the world. They are like slightly larger bumble bees, except that they are hairless, shiny and have black abdomens. They're usually found burrowed into the eaves of a home where they will drill through the wood. They don't eat wood, but they will burrow into it to create shelter and nurse their young.
for homeowners as they tend to have an appetite for natural materials and fibers, which means an infestation can lead to the destruction of furniture, carpeting and more. They can also be difficult to find until an infestation occurs because of the way they keep to dark spaces. Their partly concealed heads are black and their wings are brownish-black.
segments. They have wings during the springtime, which they then shed. Termites burrow through wood and can cause serious wood damage in a very short amount of time.
types of bugs found inside the home in general, with the German cockroach being the most common type. They tend to be attracted to food scraps, which is why keeping the house clean is so important. German cockroaches are less than an inch long, but American cockroaches can grow up to 1.5 inches in length. They won't cause any damage to your home, but can become a real nuisance especially if an infestation takes place.
the blood of animals. Ticks can be dangerous due to the fact that they often carry illnesses. Deer ticks in particular pose a serious threat to both humans and pets because of the Lyme disease that they could be potentially carrying.
mm long and have black-brownish bodies with red wing veins. They are generally attracted to low-lying plants and shrubs. Although they don't really cause any damage—not even to the plants they feed on —they can become a real nuisance as they invade properties in large numbers.
