One of North Carolinas’ and South Carolinas’ most common household ant pests, odorous house ants have a hard to tame sweet tooth that leaves them wandering across your kitchen counters day and night, looking for sugary snacks.
Subterranean termites are social insects that live in large colonies underground and are a serious threat to homes across the Carolinas.
Despite the name, the American Cockroach is not native to the Americas. It was introduced to the United States from Africa as early as 1625. They are also commonly known as a Palmetto Bug or a Water Bug.
House mice live and thrive under a variety of conditions in and around homes. They consume food meant for humans or pets. They contaminate food-preparation surfaces with their feces, which can contain the bacterium that causes food poisoning (salmonellosis).
The Carolina Wolf Spider is the largest wolf spider in the United States and was named the official South Carolina state spider in 2000. Like the tarantula, the Carolina wolf spider creates burrows underground rather than build webs.
The Asian Tiger mosquito that’s commonly found in North and South Carolina is capable of transmitting Chikungunya, an illness caused by a virus spread through its bites.
