Blair,
These sound like the larvae of casemaking clothes moths (or possibly the webbing clothes moth). Clothes moths generally feed upon wool or other natural fibers. Check woolen clothing, carpets, felts, old insulation, lint from wool rugs and pet hairs, animal hides and mounts, even stains from organic materials like juices, urine and sweat.
Identifying and removing infested materials helps but the larvae tend to scatter away from the source to pupate. Physical removal of all larvae and adults is a great first step. Targeted applications of residual insecticides may be needed, especially if the infestation originates in an inaccessible area (like an old mouse or bird nest in a wall void). Please call us for a free inspection and estimate if you need some help. Thanks for the question.

Action's payday is every Friday and the paycheck is directly deposited into your banking account. The amount of pay varies depending on your position in the company.
Yes. We perform free identifications. If no one is available when you come by, you can leave the specimen and someone will call you. We are open 7:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday thru Friday. We also perform free home inspections if you would like to have us come to you. The advantage of that would be we would already be there to inspect for other activity. You can give us your contact information on our website's "Schedule Service" section to take advantage of that option.
It depends on the species and where they are causing a problem. Small, non-venemous species like garter and rat snakes entering a structure are relatively harmless but still an unwanted pest by their presence. Good exclusion (pest-proofing) will work here. Seal up any holes around utility penetrations, foundation vents, under the base of siding and in roof soffits. If these species are causing a stir in your flower bed or garden, there are commercial snake repellants available. Efficacy varies with these products and reapplication is often necessary. Large snake glueboards are available (these will usually result in the death of the snake). Wildlife control specialists can be used if you do not want remove the animal yourself. These highly trained individuals should always be used in the case of venemous species (like timber rattlesnakes).
These are most likely cicada killer wasps. Dusting the entrances to their burrows with any insecticide dust is most effective method of control. Try to cover any patches of bare soil to discourcage their digging next season. You may also have a few offspring hatch out next year. Try to dust them as early as possible next season to avoid another repeat.
Hope this helps. Thanks again for the question.
