Questions & Answers
FAQ - Creepy Crawlies
Creepy crawlies include crawling, creeping and flying pests that may cause discomfort, bites, stings or property damage. These FAQs explain prevention and professional treatment.
Creepy crawlies are pests that creep, crawl or fly. They include insects and pests such as bees, wasps, centipedes, scorpions, termites and ants. Bees produce honey but can sting, while wasps have thinner bodies and are attracted to sweet fruit.
Creepy crawlies live in different places depending on the species. Centipedes are nocturnal and are often found in dark places during the day, such as under logs, plant pots, shaded areas and hidden corners.
Some creepy crawlies bite or sting. House centipedes rarely bite people or pets and usually try to escape when threatened. Their venom is mainly effective against smaller insects such as silverfish.
Creepy crawlie infestations can be extremely difficult to control on your own. Contact Pestoman and our technicians can provide timely, cost-effective and environmentally friendly pest control services for residential and commercial needs.
Bees, spiders and other creepy crawlies can be dangerous. Poisonous spiders such as brown recluse spiders may cause serious reactions, and victims should seek immediate medical attention if bitten.
Common creepy crawlies include:
- Bees / Wasps: Often appear during summer and may build nests around homes, trees or bushes.
- Scorpions: Their stings can be painful and dangerous. Some species are difficult to spot because of translucent bodies.
- Termites: Termites cause major property damage and can remain hidden underground or inside structures.
- Ants: Fire ants can deliver painful bites, while carpenter ants can damage damp wood by tunneling through it.
