Live in a wide range of environments around the world. Pest species of cockroaches adapt readily to a variety of environments, but prefer warm conditions found within buildings. Cockroaches leave chemical trails in their faces as well as emitting airborne pheromones for swarming and mating. Cockroaches are mainly nocturnal and will run away when exposed to light. They feed on human and pet food, and can leave an offensive odor. They can also passively transport microbes on their body surfaces including those that are potentially dangerous to humans, particularly in environments such as hospitals, Cockroaches have been shown to be linked with allergic reactions in humans.
Ants are social insects of the family Formicide and, along with the related wasps and bees, belong to the order Hymenopetra. They are nuisance pest and they will damage the building structure and ruined the food items. Ant infestations are not easy to control and different strategies should be used depending on nest location and food preferences of the ants. Ants can be controlled with a combination of good sanitation, removing pheromone trails, caulking entry points and eliminating active nests. Insecticide sprays and baits should be used to kill foraging ants and destroy nests, but strategies designed to prevent further infestations should be used in conjunction with chemical treatment.
Spiders are air-breathing arthropods that have eight legs, chelicerae with fangs that inject venom. They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in the total species diversity among all other groups of organisms. Most spiders will only bite humans in self-defence, and few produce worse effects than a mosquito bite or bee-sting. There were about 100 reliable reported deaths from spider bites in the 20th century. Many alleged cases of spider bites may represent incorrect diagnoses, which would make it more difficult to check the effectiveness of treatments for genuine bites.
These little bugs are the secret agents of household pests. Typically attracted to cool, damp places, but capable of thriving in most climates, silverfish are common but, because of their quick nocturnal movements, they’re incredibly hard to spot.Silverfish may be stealthy, but they’re still no match for your preventative measures. To keep them at bay, store winter clothes in vacuum-packed plastic bags during summer and make sure they’re dry-cleaned or washed before long periods of storage. Line drawers with plastic sheeting instead of paper and avoid stacking old newspapers on the floor. Store them in plastic bags until recycling day.
The flies are active on the pigeons throughout the winter in the warmer parts of the country, though their numbers diminish markedly toward spring. The insect has the peculiar habit of retaining its larvae.They are usually deposited while the flies are' on the pigeons and may hang temporarily in the feathers, though they soon drop off among the nest material.The pigeon louse fly, Pseudolychia canariensis (Macquart), is a common ectoparasite of pigeons and doves. The louse flies (Hippoboscidae) are obligate blood-feeding ectoparasites of birds and mammals. Both adult males and females feed on the blood of their host. They are adapted for clinging to and moving through the plumage and pelage of their hosts. Strongly specialized claws help them cling to the hair or feathers of their particular host species.
