Bees

Size: 1/2-inch in length. Honeybees are the only type of social bee that establish perennial colonies that may survive a decade or longer. All honeybee colonies produce queens and drones in the spring. These reproductives mate, and the queens may "abscond" with a number of workers to start new colonies. Occasionally, a colony will decide to nest inside a crawl space, an attic, a wall void, or a chimney in a home.

Location: Because the Africanized honeybee cannot be distinguished from its native cousins without detailed scientific measurements, any honeybee nest or swarm found in the southwestern states should be respected at a safe distance. Only experienced beekeepers and/or pest management professionals should be contacted to deal with colonies or swarms of honeybees. Never attempt to treat such nests without the proper training and equipment.
There are 20 stinging/biting insects such as fleas, ticks, mites, bees, hornets, and wasps.

Fire Ants

Size: There are many sizes of workers in the colony, ranging from 1/8-inch to almost 3/8-inch in length. Fire ants pose a health risk to anyone venturing into areas where the ants are found. Although the vast majority of stings result only in a raised welt that may develop a white pustule, some may result in major health problems. Fire ants may construct mounds next to the foundation and enter homes through weep holes or other exterior cracks and holes. Once inside, workers forage in trails beneath the edge of carpeting. On occasion, the ants will bring soil up into walls or beneath first floor bathrooms and construct a nest.

Location: Over-the-counter fire ant baits can be effective if properly used, but regular applications are necessary because the ants readily reinvade from neighboring properties.

American Cockroach

Size: American Cockroach adults are about 1 3/8 to 2 1/8 in ( 34-53 mm) long.The American cockroach, despite its name, is not native to North America. It may have come from Africa, but is now all over the world. It is also called "water bug", "Bombay canary" or "Palmetto bug".
