Unlike insects, they have seven pairs of legs and breathe through gill-like structures, which is why they're drawn to damp areas. These nocturnal scavengers play a beneficial role in breaking down organic matter outdoors but become unwelcome guests when they venture inside.
- [Drywood Termite | Pest ID Guide](https://uspest.com/pest-identifier/drywood-termite-pest-id-guide/): Drywood termites are destructive pests that infest wooden structures throughout Tennessee homes and businesses. Unlike other pests that require food and water sources, your home's wooden features are both food and shelter for these persistent insects.

By far the most common species of this woodlouse in Tennessee is scientifically referred to as Armadillidium vulgare, aka the common pill bug.
- [Sow Bug Pest Control in Tennessee](https://uspest.com/pest-identifier/sow-bug-pest-control-in-tennessee-2/): Seeing sow bugs around your home or business can be a sign of both indoor and outdoor conditions that sustain them.

This defensive mechanism makes conventional pest control methods problematic, as squishing them creates an unpleasant smell that can linger throughout your home for days.
- [Pest Identification: Brown Rot](https://uspest.com/pest-identifier/pest-identification-brown-rot/): Brown rot fungus causes wood to become dry, crumbly, and discolored.

These persistent pantry pests can easily hide in the cracks and crevices of your cabinetry or in cardboard boxes, biding their time until new products are available to infest. Even after discarding contaminated items or freezing salvageable foodstuffs, ensuring complete weevil elimination from your food storage areas can be challenging without professional weevil pest control.
