Millipedes are common in gardens and damp indoor areas, easily identified by their elongated bodies and many legs, usually brown to black.

Paper wasps are aggressive stinging insects that commonly build exposed nests along eaves, soffits, and outdoor structures, posing a risk to families and pets.

Ticks and fleas are harmful parasites that can infest lawns, homes, and pets, posing serious health risks to both people and animals.
