In Delta, several pests can cause significant damage to homes. Here are some of the most destructive ones.

1. Termites: Particularly the Eastern subterranean termite, which can damage wooden structures and foundations.
2. Carpenter Ants: These ants hollow out wood for nesting, which can weaken wooden structures.
3. Powderpost Beetles: These beetles infest and damage hardwood and can weaken furniture and structural wood.
4. Rats and Mice: Rodents can chew through insulation, wiring, and wood, leading to structural damage and fire hazards.
5. Woodpeckers: While not a pest in the traditional sense, they can peck holes in siding and roofing in search of insects.
6. Cockroaches: They can contaminate food and surfaces, leading to health issues, though they are not structurally destructive.
7. Squirrels: They can gnaw on wires, insulation, and wood, leading to damage and potential fire hazards.
8. Silverfish: They can damage paper products, books, and clothing, though they are less destructive than other pests.
