Termites
Report
Nothing seems to strike fear into the hearts of homeowners like the word 'termite'. And no wonder. Termites do more damage to homes each year than all fires, storms and earthquakes combined. That's impressive. Add to the problem the fact that they operate in such a way as to be virtually undetectable to all but a very trained eye, and the fears become somewhat understandable.
Stinging Insects
Report
The uninversal catch-all word for anything that flies and stings. It helps to first understand that true honeybees are a primitive colony insect like ants or termites and are primarily distinguished by the production and storage of honey and the construction of year-round, colonial nests out of wax.
Mice
Report
Mice have been around since cavemen, and are believed to have arrived in North America in the 1500s aboard the ships of Spanish explorers. The word 'mouse' comes from the Sanskrit word meaning 'thief'. Some ancient cultures actually found medicinal uses for cooked mice while other cultures, to the contrary, forbade even the eating of any food that a mouse had chewed claiming that it would cause forgetfulness and earaches. In folklore, it is said that the devil entered Noah's ark in the body of a mouse which then chewed holes in the hull in an attempt to sink it.
Extra
Report
In recent years, we've seen a major influx of carpenter bees in the northeast. When the weather gets warmer, pest control companies will be fielding calls daily about these insects, usually being mis-identified as bumble bees. Carpenter bees somewhat resemble bumble bees, except bumble bees have dense yellow hairs on the abdomen and large pollen baskets on the hind legs. Various species of bumble bees and carpenter bees are similar in size. Bumble bees typically nest in the ground whereas carpenter bees nest in wood.
