Tick

Tick

In the U.S., the tick species that causes the most cases of paralysis in humans are the Rocky Mountain wood tick and the American dog tick.

Silverfish

Silverfish

Silverfish are small, wingless insects characterized by their slender, carrot-shaped body, covered in shiny, metallic scales that give them a silvery or gray appearance.

Rats

Rats

To prevent a rat infestation, focus on eliminating their access to food, water, and shelter. Seal entry points, remove potential food sources, maintain cleanliness, and limit water access.

Armyworms

Armyworms

Spodoptera is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae erected by Achille Guenée in 1852. Many are known as pest insects. The larvae are sometimes called armyworms. The roughly thirty species are distributed across six continents.

American Cockroach

American Cockroach

American cockroaches are primarily attracted to food, moisture, and shelter. They are scavengers and will consume a variety of food sources, including crumbs, pet food, and even decaying organic matter. They also need water to survive, so leaky pipes, standing water, and damp areas are attractive to them. Additionally, they seek out warm, dark, and undisturbed places like basements, garages, and storage areas, especially if they offer access to food and water.

Bedbug

Bedbug

Signs of bed bugs include itchy bites, often in clusters or lines, blood stains on bedding, and the presence of small, dark fecal spots on mattresses or furniture. You might also notice a sweet, musty odor or see actual bed bugs, their shed skins, or eggs.

Brown Recluse Spider

Brown Recluse Spider

Brown recluse spiders are common in Oklahoma and are often found in dark, sheltered areas like woodpiles, under rocks, and within homes, particularly in cluttered spaces. While their bites are generally not life-threatening, they can cause tissue damage and require medical attention.

German Cockroach

German Cockroach

German cockroaches are often considered the most challenging species to eliminate from homes due to their rapid reproduction, ability to hide in hard-to-reach places, and adaptability. Their high reproductive rate, coupled with their preference for warm, humid environments and tendency to hide in cracks and crevices, makes infestations difficult to control.

Flea

Flea

The primary cause of flea infestations is the introduction of adult fleas into a new environment, typically through pets, wildlife, or infested items. Once fleas are present, they can quickly multiply and infest a home, especially if there are favorable conditions like warm, humid environments and available hosts.

Termites

Termites

Termites are a significant problem in Oklahoma, with subterranean termites being the most common and destructive type found throughout the state. They cause millions of dollars in damage annually to structures, and the risk of infestation is high, with estimates suggesting a 70% chance of a home being infested within 10-20 years of construction. Termite activity is more prevalent in the warmer months, with swarming season typically beginning in early spring.

Mice

Mice

Mice are a common pest problem in Oklahoma, especially house mice, which are known to thrive near humans and breed rapidly. They can cause significant damage by gnawing on wires, contaminating food, and spreading diseases. Common signs of a mouse infestation include droppings, gnaw marks, nests made of shredded materials, and unusual noises like scratching or scurrying sounds.

Centipedes

Centipedes

Centipedes enter homes primarily seeking food, moisture, and shelter. They are attracted to areas with other insects, which they prey on, as well as damp, dark places like basements, bathrooms, and crawl spaces. Leaky pipes and plumbing fixtures can also draw them in, providing a water source.

Ants

Ants

Oklahoma is home to a variety of ant species, including fire ants, carpenter ants, and harvester ants. Fire ants, known for their painful stings, are particularly prevalent in southeastern Oklahoma. Carpenter ants, which can cause structural damage, are also common. Harvester ants, recognizable by their seed-collecting habits and painful stings, are found in open grasslands and deserts.

Bagworms

Bagworms

Oklahoma is home to a variety of ant species, including fire ants, carpenter ants, and harvester ants. Fire ants, known for their painful stings, are particularly prevalent in southeastern Oklahoma. Carpenter ants, which can cause structural damage, are also common. Harvester ants, recognizable by their seed-collecting habits and painful stings, are found in open grasslands and deserts.

Bedbug

Bedbug

Oklahoma is reportedly experiencing a significant bed bug problem, with some sources even claiming it has the worst bed bug problem in the United States. Oklahoma City has been specifically identified as one of the top cities for bed bug infestations. Bed bugs are attracted to human presence and can be found in a variety of places, not just beds, including furniture, clothing, and luggage.

Webwoms

Webwoms

Fall webworms, a type of caterpillar that spins silken webs on trees, are a common sight in Oklahoma, particularly in late summer and early fall. These webs are often mistaken for spider webs, but they are actually protective nests for the caterpillars as they feed on leaves.

Cockroach

Cockroach

In Oklahoma, the most common cockroach types you'll encounter are the German cockroach, the American cockroach, the Oriental cockroach, and the brown-banded cockroach.

Black Widow Spider

Black Widow Spider

In Oklahoma, black widow spiders (Latrodectus mactans) are present and can be identified by their glossy black bodies, long legs, and the distinctive red hourglass marking on the underside of their abdomen. While their venom is neurotoxic and can cause painful reactions, fatalities are rare. They are typically found in dark, undisturbed areas outdoors and are known to consume various insects.
