Speaking for us living in Alabama, cockroaches, fire ants, and scorpions are the reason most of us happily pay for pest control services.
Comment on Plant shaming should be a thing

I know that it’s probably a sign of impending ecological doom, but where I live used to have scorpions coming in all the time. I don’t think I’ve even seen evidence of them outside for close to a decade. I guess I can appreciate the silver lining of the giant mushroom cloud.

Fire ants are not uncommon in the American south, but I don’t know if they’re especially likely to invade homes.

Yes. They are an invasive species in much of the American South (and beyond).
