Dangerous bugs? Fire ants and wasps, depending on your allergies. Palmetto (big, slow cockroaches), chinch bugs (lawn issue), sugar ants, pincher bugs, some types of weevils, love bugs (nothing gets them). So far as I know, termites aren't any more of a problem here than elsewhere but they are a problem nationwide. As Pooh said, mosquitoes aren't too much of a problem. It may be because TV is well sprayed, but it is important to protect against them.
You can do the spraying yourself (except for termites -- need special license for those chemicals) but having a service do it is much easier. Most companies spray the lawn and perimeter of the house, go inside when you have a need. Seems to work pretty well.
