Cat Flea
A tiny, wingless, blood-feeding insect that is the flea most often found on pet cats and dogs in U.S. homes, biting both animals and people and breeding in carpets, bedding, and pet resting areas.
Drain Fly
A small, fuzzy moth-like fly whose larvae develop in the organic film inside drains, sewers, and standing water; the adult is a harmless nuisance and the larva is a beneficial decomposer.
Fruit Fly
A tiny tan-to-brown fly with red eyes that breeds in overripe, fermenting, or damaged fruit and the moist residue in drains, found around kitchen counters and trash.
Honey Bee
A fuzzy, golden-brown social bee that lives year-round in large colonies and is one of the most important pollinators of food crops — a beneficial insect, not a pest, that should be relocated by a beekeeper rather than exterminated.
House Fly
A gray, four-striped filth fly that breeds in manure, garbage, and decaying matter and contaminates food and surfaces by carrying germs on its body and in its saliva and droppings.
Yellow Fever Mosquito
A small dark, day-biting container mosquito with lyre-shaped thorax markings that breeds in standing water around homes and is the primary vector of yellow fever, dengue, Zika, and chikungunya viruses.
