Guest	One night, while reading before bed, I felt something crawling on my leg. I lifted it up and shook it. I looked to my right and I saw something moving! It was very small, maybe a centimeter. It was brownish-redish, fuzzy, round like a worm. It was crawling around on my bed. What is this and how do I get rid of it?

Guest	Hello,Just recently we have a TON of huge flying insects in our back yard. They sort of look like a cicada or wasp or something. They are black and have distinct yellow stripes on their backs. I think there are two yellow stripes. They seem to fly low to the ground and dart after each other all day long. Do you know what they are? Do they sting? Thank you!!!

Guest	Do you see a lot of problems with carpenter ants in Southern Indiana?
Guest	We seem to have a problem with something on the floors and upholstery that is too small to be seen. When sitting or standing, especially in certain spots, something moves under your foot or it feels like something jumped onto your foot. When sitting on the couch, sometimes it feels like something jumped onto your face. There is usually a very slight tickling or crawling sensation that is gone almost immediately. Sometimes there is a sudden pinprick sensation. These different sensations may be caused by different bugs. I cannot find anything on the internet regarding pests that are too small to be seen. Spraying flea killer does not seem to kill them. What are they and how do you get rid of them? Thanks.
Guest	What is this bug? It has two long claws in the front of its round, flattened from the top body. The body is probably 1/16 inch long and the claws are as long as the body, with elbow-like joints. It has 8 legs.

What would this bug be??
