Mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, flies, no-see-ums, bees, ants, spiders, caterpillars: these pesky party crashers make it impossible to relax and have fun in backyards. They distract and diminish the enjoyment of the outdoor experience, and it goes beyond mere unpleasantness. No one wants to be swarmed or bitten by hordes of insects. What's worse is that you are subjected to these pests' hazards to your health.
Bats are good for the environment. These nocturnal, flying mammals mean human beings no harm unless provoked. They prefer to feed on fruits and insects, and contribute significantly to the global ecosystem. That being said, there are times when bats can become pests.
There are only two spider species in Colorado that are capable of biting (and harming) humans. Colorado is home to only one of those two species: the Black Widow.

Carpenter ants are one of the most common types of ants that can be found in North America. They get their name from their habit of hollowing out wood in order to create their nests. Although they don't carry disease, carpenter ants can cause serious damage to your home if left untreated.
One of the most sneaky pests you may have to deal with is bed bugs. These pesky insects are only about 55mm long and have a wide oval-shaped abdomen with a reddish-brown color. Because of this, you can practically identify them as they're crawling through a surface.
