All About Collin County’s Pest Population

Collin County is home to various pests that can subtly or not-so-subtly invade your home or business. At All Pest Solutions, we're dedicated to helping you understand these common pests so you can proactively protect your property. 

All Pest Solutions is here to teach you about: 

• Ants: These social insects live in large colonies and are notorious for invading kitchens in search of food. Some species, like fire ants, can deliver painful stings.
• Crickets: Known for their distinctive chirping sound, crickets can become a nuisance when they find their way indoors. They are often attracted to light and moisture.
• Earwigs: Recognizable by their pincers, earwigs thrive in damp, dark environments. While they generally don't pose serious harm, their presence can be unsettling.
• Millipedes: These multi-legged creatures prefer damp, organic-rich environments. They often enter homes during rainy periods, seeking dryness.
• Pill bugs: Also called "roly-polies," these tiny, armadillo-like pests roll into a ball when threatened. They thrive in moist areas around your home.
• Roaches: Known for their resilience and rapid reproduction, roaches can infest kitchens and bathrooms, spreading disease and allergens.
• Rodents: Mice and rats can cause significant damage by gnawing on wires and insulation. They also pose health risks through their droppings and urine.
• Silverfish: These wingless insects are nocturnal and feed on starchy materials like paper and glue, often damaging books and wallpaper.
• Spiders: While many are harmless, some spiders, like the black widow or brown recluse, can be venomous and cause health concerns if bitten.
