Carpenter ants excavate galleries in wood to create nesting space but do not consume wood as food. They feed on insects, honeydew from aphids, and household food sources. Colonies consist of a parent nest typically in moisture-damaged wood outdoors and satellite colonies that may establish in structures. Workers travel between nests along established trails. They prefer wood softened by fungal decay associated with moisture. Signs include piles of coarse sawdust-like frass, faint rustling in walls, and nocturnal worker trails. Winged reproductive swarmers emerge in spring. Prevention requires correcting moisture problems, eliminating wood-to-soil contact, removing dead trees, and sealing entry points.
Ticks are parasitic arachnids requiring blood meals at each life stage: larva, nymph, and adult. They do not jump or fly but climb vegetation to quest, extending front legs to grasp passing hosts. Blacklegged ticks and American dog ticks are common species. Blacklegged ticks transmit Lyme disease and other pathogens during feeding. Ticks quest most actively during warm months but can be active whenever temperatures exceed freezing. They require humidity to survive and concentrate in leaf litter, tall grass, wooded edges, and shaded groundcover. Prevention includes maintaining mowed lawn buffers, removing leaf litter and brush, managing groundcover vegetation, and creating barriers that reduce wildlife movement into yards.
House mice are commensal rodents that exploit structures for food, water, and shelter. They compress through openings as small as one-quarter inch. Mice are primarily nocturnal, navigating along walls using whiskers. Females produce five to ten litters yearly with five to six young per litter. They gnaw continuously to wear down ever-growing incisors, damaging structures, insulation, and wiring. Mice contaminate surfaces with urine, droppings, and hair. Signs include rod-shaped droppings, gnaw marks, greasy rub marks along travel routes, and scratching sounds in walls. Prevention requires sealing entry points, storing food properly, and eliminating harborage.
Social wasps including paper wasps and yellowjackets build colonies that grow through spring and summer. Queens overwinter and emerge in spring to establish new nests. Paper wasps build open-comb nests on protected surfaces like eaves and porch ceilings. Yellowjackets construct enclosed nests in aerial locations, wall voids, or underground cavities. Workers forage for insect prey to feed larvae. Colonies become most populous and defensive in late summer and fall. Only fertilized queens survive winter. Prevention involves sealing structural gaps in early spring, eliminating potential nest sites, and removing food attractants.
Hornets are large social wasps that build enclosed paper nests in trees, shrubs, and occasionally on structures. Colonies are annual, founded by a single queen in spring. Workers defend nests aggressively when disturbed. Bald-faced hornets and European hornets are common species. Bald-faced hornets build large aerial nests; European hornets may nest in wall voids and hollow trees. Colonies reach peak size in late summer. Hornets are predatory, feeding on other insects. Prevention includes inspecting eaves, trees, and outbuildings in early spring when nests are small and removing them before colonies grow.
Brown marmorated stink bugs are invasive insects that enter structures in fall seeking overwintering shelter. They gather on sun-warmed exterior walls before finding entry through gaps around windows, doors, utility penetrations, and under siding. Once inside wall voids and attics, they become dormant through winter. They emerge in spring, often appearing indoors as temperatures warm. They release a pungent odor when disturbed or crushed. Stink bugs do not bite, sting, or damage structures. Prevention focuses on sealing exterior entry points before fall, including gaps around windows, doors, soffits, and utility lines.
