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.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.Blacklegged Tick
A small, dark-legged tick of the eastern and north-central United States that feeds on mammals and birds and is the main carrier of the Lyme disease bacterium.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.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.Tawny Crazy Ant
A small, uniformly reddish-brown invasive ant that swarms in huge numbers across the Gulf Coast, moving in fast, erratic trails and nesting in soil, debris, and electrical equipment rather than in tidy mounds.
