There are over 9,000 identified ant species worldwide, and approximately 570 of them have been found in the U.S. However, only 30 of them are found to infest homes. Ants are very social insects and are distinguished from other insects by their narrow pedicel, whichconsists of 1 or 2 segments aka nodes that can be found between the thorax and the abdomen. They are also identified by their elbowed antennae and narrow waist. Their colors range from black, brown, yellow, red and some in combination. Each ant species has its own special nesting, diet, and preferred travel routes. All species share the fact that they work and serve the queen. Their primary existence is to search for food and feed the queen in order to expand the colony. Ant colonies often have multiple queens which can produce millions of eggs over her lifetime.
Spiders
Louis Sorkin is an entomologist who has worked at the American Museum of Natural History since 1978. His office looks exactly the way you’d expect the office of a bug expert to look — filled with typewriters, books about insects, drawings of spiders.
Termites
Several companies in the United States offer bed bug dog detection, utilizing specifically trained K9s for locating bed bugs. The academies that have trained them have a history and expertise in training dogs to detect bombs, drugs, mold and even termites. This service is another tool in the fight against bed bugs and can be especially useful in situations where bed bugs are suspected, but have not been located.
Bed Bugs

Fleas
Although fleas typically live and feed on pets, they often bite humans, which can cause itchy welts, increase allergies, and spread diseases like typhus. Fleas have 4 main life cycles: adult, larvae, egg and nymph. Home remedies rarely work because they only effectively deal with two of these life cycles.
Cockroaches
Officially known as an American cockroach, waterbugs are the largest of house infesting roaches and are common in NYC buildings. This scary 1.5 – 2.5 inch larger roach if found in nearly every structure in the northeast. They have been known to cause or exacerbate allergic and asthmatic conditions, especially in children in inner cities.
Ticks
Jeff Eisenberg, founder of Pestaway Exterminating, says he's seeing ticks in places he's never seen them before—including in the bushes right outside Fifth Avenue high rises.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes won't be here early because they never left. New Yorkers from East Harlem to the Village have seen mosquitoes and reported horrific bites all winter long.
Beetles

Moths
Webbing Clothes Moths hide under collars, carpeting, and on various other parts of garments, but they are often ignored until it becomes a much larger issue. Most people have them unknowingly for a long period before they realize the issue. At some point small holes are noticed in clothing and are often ignored until it becomes a much larger issue.
Mites
Historically, there is a lot of misinformation about both the bug itself and the treatment. Old-fashioned methods like airing the bed and turning the mattress work for dust mites but are in no way effective at eliminating bedbugs.
Palmetto Bugs
But the oriental cockroach and the American cockroach (the gigantic beetle-like guys known as "waterbugs" here and Palmetto bugs in Florida where their p.r. is better) thrive in warm weather, and may be lurking in untoward numbers right now in a basement near you.

Their presence can be felt both in urban and suburban settings. The ever rising population of rats in NYC is at an all-time high, with the most recent estimates at over 14 million.

They can be very destructive, as they chew on electric wires, tear up insulation, and leave quite a mess of droppings behind.
