    Common Pests Found in Oklahoma City

      Spiders

      Identification: Common spiders in Oklahoma City include the brown recluse, black widow, wolf spider, and cellar spider. The brown recluse is tan with a violin-shaped marking on its back, while the black widow is shiny black with a red hourglass shape on its underside. Wolf spiders are large and hairy, often mistaken for tarantulas, and cellar spiders have long, thin legs with small bodies.

      Habitat: Spiders typically inhabit dark, undisturbed areas such as basements, closets, attics, garages, and crawl spaces. Outdoors, they may be found under rocks, in woodpiles, or around shrubs and foundations.

      Behavior: Spiders are primarily solitary predators that feed on insects and other small arthropods. While most species are harmless and help control other pests, some, like the brown recluse and black widow, can pose medical concerns if they bite.

      Health Risks: Most spider bites are harmless, but brown recluse and black widow bites can cause symptoms ranging from mild pain to serious reactions such as nausea, muscle cramps, or skin necrosis. Prompt medical attention is recommended if bitten by either species.

    • Ants

      Identification: Frequent ant species in the Oklahoma City area include carpenter ants, odorous house ants, pavement ants, and fire ants. They range in color from black to reddish-brown and are typically between 1/16 and 1/2 inch long, depending on species.

      Habitat: Ants nest in a wide range of environments including soil, wood, wall voids, and beneath pavement. Fire ants tend to build large, dome-shaped mounds in open areas, while carpenter ants are often found in damp, decaying wood.

      Behavior: Ants are highly social and form large colonies. Foraging workers seek out food sources and can travel long distances indoors and outdoors. Carpenter ants tunnel into wood, while odorous house ants emit a strong smell when crushed.

      Health Risks: Some ants, like fire ants, can deliver painful stings that may cause allergic reactions. Carpenter ants may damage wood structures over time. Additionally, ants can contaminate food and surfaces as they forage.

    • Earwig

      Earwigs

      Identification: Earwigs are dark brown to black insects with elongated bodies and distinctive forceps-like pincers at the end of their abdomens. Adults typically measure about 1/2 to 1 inch in length.

      Habitat: They prefer moist, dark environments such as mulch beds, flowerpots, under stones, and in leaf litter. Indoors, they may hide in bathrooms, basements, laundry rooms, and under sinks—anywhere dampness is present.

      Behavior: Earwigs are nocturnal scavengers that feed on decaying plant matter, insects, and occasionally live plants. Despite their appearance, their pincers are not dangerous to humans and are used primarily for defense and mating displays.

      Health Risks: Earwigs do not pose a significant health risk. While their pincers can pinch the skin, it rarely causes harm. Their presence indoors is typically more of a nuisance than a threat.

      Scorpions

      Identification: The striped bark scorpion is the most common species in Oklahoma City. It has a light tan body with two dark stripes running along its back and measures around 2 to 3 inches in length. Its tail ends with a venomous stinger.

      Habitat: Scorpions shelter in cool, dark places such as under rocks, logs, and debris outdoors. Inside homes, they may hide in closets, shoes, bathtubs, or near plumbing fixtures, especially during hot, dry periods.

      Behavior: Scorpions are nocturnal predators that feed on insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates. They use their pincers to capture prey and their stinger to subdue it. They are solitary and generally avoid human contact.

      Health Risks: A scorpion sting can cause localized pain, swelling, and mild numbness. While rarely dangerous in Oklahoma, individuals with allergies or young children may experience more intense reactions. Medical evaluation is advised if symptoms persist.
