Beetles

Specific species of beetles can commonly infest and reinfest wood, causing lasting damage to support structures on your home and  some furniture. 

Earwigs

Usually earwigs are regarded a nuisance pest. They will not climb into your ears, but can be a sign of a moisture issue. 

Larger Mammals

Raccoons and skunks are just a couple of mammals that can cause significant damage to a home and its crawl space.  Pulled down insulation, diverted ducting and general refuse can be costly damage.

Rodents

Stink Bugs

Stink bugs are typically an agricultural pest, but may seek refuge indoors as the temperture gets colder. They won't harm you, but can smell putrid when crushed or disturbed
