Carpenter ants hollow out wooded areas and use the wood to make their nests. Wood damage can be compared to termites but can be distinguish by its clean and sand-papered appearance. Feeds on insects (dead or alive), and anything that people eat.

Crickets

Unlike many insects, crickets don’t bite, sting, or spread disease. They do, however, eat fabric, wallpaper glue, and other household materials. Their chirping can be either annoying or relaxing, depending on who you ask. This “music,” created by rubbing their legs together, can be either part of the mating ritual or a warning of perceived danger. That’s no consolation, however, if you’re trying to sleep. And when large groups of crickets chirp together, scorpions may come running in search of dinner. In our book, that’s enough to warrant a call for pest control.
