You can find subterranean termites in both the interior and exterior of your home, and there are several signs that you have an infestation. One of them is the presence of mud tubes along your home’s exterior, which look like tunnels made of wood and soil. They use them to keep themselves from drying out when they move from one place to another.

Ticks will wait for host animals from the tips of grasses and shrubs (not from trees). Once they have been brushed by a moving animal or person, they will let go of the vegetation and climb onto the host.

If you judge them based on their looks, these furry caterpillars may look harmless. But if you touch one with a bare finger, you’ll feel like you have been pricked by fiberglass. Some species (such as the Brown-tail) will even leave you with a persistent and painful rash. When they’re fully mature, tussock moths are often dull brown or white.
