Acrobat Ant
A small, shiny ant named for the heart-shaped rear segment it flips up over its back when alarmed; it nests in damp or rotting wood and tends aphids for their honeydew, sometimes wandering indoors to forage.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.Camel Cricket
A wingless, humpbacked cricket with long legs and antennae that lives in cool, damp, dark places like caves and crawl spaces, wandering into basements and garages when it seeks shelter and moisture.Common Pillbug
A small, gray, land-dwelling crustacean that rolls into a tight ball when disturbed, lives in damp soil and leaf litter, and feeds harmlessly on decaying plant material.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.European Earwig
A reddish-brown, nocturnal insect best known for the pincer-like forceps at the tip of its abdomen; it shelters in damp, dark spots by day and sometimes wanders into homes in large numbers.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.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.Millipede
A slow, worm-like, many-legged arthropod that lives in damp soil and leaf litter eating decaying plant matter, and wanders indoors by mistake when the ground outside turns too wet or too dry.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.Old House Borer
A longhorned beetle whose larvae tunnel for years inside seasoned softwood timbers, most often pine, slowly weakening structural wood in buildings.Oriental Cockroach
A large, dark, slow-moving cockroach that favors cool, damp places like basements, drains, crawl spaces, and outdoor foundation areas, and is often called a "waterbug."Pacific Dampwood Termite
A large, caramel-to-dark-brown termite of the Pacific coast that nests inside moist, water-damaged wood rather than in soil, found from British Columbia to Baja California.Powderpost Beetle
A small reddish-brown wood-boring beetle whose larvae feed on the starch in hardwood sapwood, leaving round pinhole exits and a fine, flour-like powder that gives the group its name.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.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.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.
