20 Creepy Crawlies That Might be Ruining Your Summer in Texas

Although we are well into the summer here in Texas, I am still coming across new creepy crawlies trying to make their way into my home every day.

I usually spot plenty of critters trying to make their way inside during the rainy spring months. The mix of moisture and hotter days tends to lure them indoors. However, there have been plenty of bugs still trying to enjoy the AC during these summer months.
