Ants are common household pests. At one time or another most homeowners have had to deal with ants finding their way inside of your home. Household ants are smaller and will build their colonies outside and then find their way into your home through your windowsills, cracks around your door or even up through your crawlspace. Carpenter ants are a bit different since they will build their colonies inside of your home and cause damage similar to termites. Fire ants will bite causing itchy painful welts.

Bed bugs are not associated with filth and you may end up with bed bugs even if your home is very clean. Most people accidentally bring them home from a vacation or business trip. You can even bring them home from a gym or from school. Once in the home, the bed bugs find a place to hide and quickly reproduce to cause an infestation.
