Summary

Most household pests are insects and are commonly called “bugs.” Other organisms such as spiders, scorpions, centipedes, millipedes, ticks, sowbugs, pillbugs, mites, rats, mice, snakes, bats, squirrels, birds, molds and fungi may also enter homes. In Tennessee, one or more of 40 common pests are found in every home at one time or another. Even the most conscientious person cannot always avoid an occasional pest infestation.
