The presence of minuscule arthropods within residential structures in the state known for its subtropical climate is a common concern for homeowners. These organisms, often difficult to identify due to their size, can range from nuisance pests to vectors of disease or agents of structural damage. Examples include, but are not limited to, ants, termites, dust mites, and various species of beetles.
Addressing the challenge presented by these minute creatures is important for maintaining property value, safeguarding the health of residents, and preventing costly repairs. Historically, control methods have evolved from rudimentary techniques to sophisticated integrated pest management strategies. Effective management requires accurate identification of the species involved, understanding its biology and behavior, and implementing targeted control measures.
