Household Insects and Spiders

This guide was created to provide information about some common, but still unfamiliar, insects and spiders spotted in homes across Oregon.
​
There are over 20,000 species of insects in Oregon, therefore this is not a complete guide. This guide is intended to help residents make informed decisions about pest control. We hope to reduce some of the unfounded fears and misconceptions about insects and spiders.
