Built to catch dinner!

Check out this orb-weaver! Those bold colors and incredible web-building skills make these spiders fascinating to watch.

Orb-weavers spin beautiful, circular webs designed to catch flying insects like moths and flies. They sit and wait for their next meal, letting the web do the hard work!

Nature is full of incredible designs, and this is one you can see right in your own backyard.

Have you ever spotted one of these impressive web builders around your place?

NATURE SPOTLIGHT: SLUGS!

Here’s a close-up of one of nature’s slow movers!

Slugs are mollusks, not insects. Unlike snails, they don’t have an external shell. They use a muscular foot to move and produce mucus that helps them glide across surfaces.

🌧️ Why do we see them? Slugs thrive in damp conditions and are often active at night or on cloudy, rainy days.

🌱 Are they good or bad? It depends! Slugs help break down decaying plant material, but some species also feed on garden plants and can damage seedlings.

They might not win any races, but these little guys have an important place in the ecosystem!

At Tom’s Termite & Pest Control, we believe understanding what you find around your home is the first step to knowing whether it’s a pest or simply part of nature.

🪳 Ever seen a WHITE cockroach?

No, it’s not an albino roach—and it hasn’t suddenly changed species.

What you’re seeing is a cockroach that has recently molted. Roaches have to shed their old outer shell as they grow. Immediately after molting, the new outer covering is soft and pale, sometimes appearing almost completely white.

As that new outer covering hardens, it gradually develops the normal darker color we associate with cockroaches.

So if you see one like this, you’re catching a roach during a pretty short window in its life.

And yes… even though it’s white, it’s still a roach. 😂🪳

Found this while splitting some firewood 👀

It’s a good reminder that firewood can harbor termites and other wood-destroying insects. That doesn’t mean finding termites in your firewood means your house has termites — but it’s definitely something worth paying attention to.

A couple simple tips:
🔥 Keep firewood off the ground
🔥 Don’t stack it against your house
🔥 Only bring inside what you’re going to burn

Just another interesting find while getting the wood ready for the season!

Father and son putting in the work today. 💪

I’m proud to have these two guys on the Tom’s Termite & Pest Control team. There’s something pretty cool about seeing a father and son working side by side, learning from each other and getting the job done.

They don’t mind getting dirty, they don’t mind crawling in the tight spots, and they show up ready to work.

Good people. Hard workers. That’s the kind of crew I’m proud to have representing Tom’s.

🐜💪 Tom’s Termite & Pest Control — We get the job done.

🐛 Now THIS is a cool one!

I ran across this little guy today and had to stop and take a few pictures.

This is a Sycamore Tussock Moth caterpillar.

Look at the hair on this thing! 😂 The orange head, white tufts, and all those little bristles make it one of the more unusual caterpillars you’ll come across here in Indiana.

They’re associated with sycamore trees, where the caterpillars feed on the leaves. They’re usually not a big deal, and nature has plenty of predators and other factors that help keep their numbers in check.

One thing I always tell people when I’m out doing pest work:

Just because something looks creepy doesn’t mean it’s a pest.

Sometimes it’s just a cool piece of Indiana nature doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. 🌳

And yes… I’m glad I took the pictures instead of picking this fuzzy little dude up. 😂

Ran across this black snake today. Nothing fancy, just one of the many snakes we see here in Southern Indiana.

I actually enjoy coming across stuff like this. You never know what you’re going to find when you’re out and about! 🌳🐍

I released him right after the photo shoot 😂😂😂. No reptiles were hurt. Just a couple photos. 😂

😂 Apparently, even the bugs around here know how to hide from the pest control guy.

Found this little guy today sitting on the rocks, and I had to stop and get a picture. He’s a Protean Shieldback katydid (Atlanticus testaceus).

I’ll give him credit—he picked a pretty good hiding spot. Unfortunately for him, hiding from someone who makes a living finding bugs probably wasn’t his best decision. 😂

No treatment needed on this one. He’s just out here doing his thing.

Pretty cool what you can find when you slow down and actually look around. 🦗🌿
