The build their webs in the same places as black widows but will also build them below your eaves. Their bite is comparable to the black widow.

Wolf Spider

Wolf Spiders are hairy, vary in color from grey to brown, and range in size from a ½ inch to 2 inches. They are sometimes mistaken as small tarantulas.

Their bite is painful but non-lethal although some may experience allergic reactions to it.

Crickets

Because crickets hide in cracks and crevices and are active at night, most people don’t know they have crickets until they hear their chirping. Their most identifiable feature is their large back legs which they use for jumping or hopping. They are an outdoor pest but sometimes find their way inside under doors and through gaps in windows.

Jerusalem Cricket

The Jerusalem Cricket can grow as large as 2 inches and its head can be the size of a small marble. It generally lives under dirt and is not noticed until a person is gardening or doing yard work. Because it is not seen often, many people mistake it for a mutated roach or a wingless bee when they encounter it for the first time. It is often referred to as a Potato Bug. It is generally non-aggressive and is considered beneficial.

Varied Carpet Beetle

The Varied Carpet Beetle often goes un-noticed because of its small size, but if spotted in its adult stage it is generally described as a small ladybug greyish or tannish in color. If spotted in its larval stage, it resembles a furry worm that is brown or tan in color. It feeds on pollen in its adult stage, but is considered destructive in its larval stage feeding on natural fiber carpet, leather, animal fur, feathers, and even dead insects.

Earwigs

Stink Bug

The Stink Bug or Stink Beetle is a common sight in our deserts and mountain areas. They are often confused with the Oriental roach. The main difference between the two is the Stink bug has a pointed rear-end while the Oriental roach has a rounded posterior. When threatened, they stand on their head, raise their rear-ends in the air, and let out a noxious, foul tasting spray. The spray is not harmful although it may be painful if it gets in your eyes. Even though they have wings, they are fused together so they cannot fly.

German Roach

The German Roach is probably the most recognized roach and also one of the most common household pests in the US. They are only ½ inch to ¾ inches in length and light brown to tan in color with two black horizontal stripes immediately behind the head. They are mostly found in kitchens and bathrooms hiding inside cracks and crevices, and hiding underneath as well as inside household appliances. The presence of German roaches in large numbers usually indicates a sanitation issue.
