In-Vertebrates

Subterranean
Termites
Termites are social insects that live
in large colonies.These insects digest cellulose in
wood. Termites, undisputably, are the most destructive
of structural pests. The National Pest Management
Association estimates that termites cause $1.5 billion
damage to structures annually and that an additional
$1.0 billion is spent on treatment.

Fire
Ant
Fire ant workers come in an unusual
variety of sizes within one nest. The workers are
small (ranging from 2 - 6 mm). They are copper-brown
in color, usually with a darker abdomen, or like a
cranberry color. |
 |
Carpenter
Ant
Carpenter ants are a common sight around
Texas homes throughout the year. The presence of winged
ants indoors generally means that a nest is located
in the structure. 1/4-3/8 inch-long with a black tail
(abdomen) and reddish-brown head and thorax.Carpenter
ants do not eat wood, and generally are not as damaging
as termites. |
 |
Termites
Vs. Ants
The winged adults are known as the
primary reproductives which are most often referred
to as swarmers.They emerge from the colonies on colonizing
flights during certain seasons of the year. ants have
a very thin waste between the thorax and the abdomen,
while termites are broad waisted. termite wings are
all the same size and shape, whereas the forewings
of the ant are larger, longer,termite antennae are
straight, while the ants' antennae are elbowed. |
 |
Odorouse
House Ant
Odorous house ant workers are uniformly
brown to black ants. The size range for workers is
from 1/16' to 1/8' in length. Within a given colony,
the workers are all the same size (monomorphic). When
workers are crushed they emit a rotten coconut odor. |

marking may not be visible and other spiders may have
similar markings. |

and have three pairs of legs. The immature stage or
larval stage of the flea looks like a small white
worm with a dark head. Flea eggs are small and white. |

their pincers (forceps harmless to humans) at the
ends of their abdomen. They are dark reddish-brown,
