BEDBUGS

Are insects from the genus Cimex that feed on human blood
Bedbugs measure just 5 millimeters across—smaller than a pencil eraser
They are usually found in bedrooms but hide in cracks and crevices during the day

Experts believe the recent increase in bed bugs in the United States may be due to more travel, lack of knowledge about preventing infestations, increased resistance of bed bugs to pesticides, and ineffective pest control practices.

The EPA suggests:

Check secondhand furniture, beds and couches for any signs of bed bug infestation before bringing them home.
Use a protective cover that encases mattresses and box springs to eliminate many hiding spots.
Reduce clutter in your home to reduce hiding places for bed bugs.
Vacuum frequently to remove any successful hitchhikers.

ROACHES

Common Pest in home or business
Breed very quickly
The nest and the eggs must be eliminate to control this pest.
They may trigger severe allergies through the pest’s droppings and casings.

Roaches breach your home or office through pipes, window cracks, and door openings and by attaching themselves to grocery bags, boxes, and used furniture.

The EPA suggests:

Don’t allow dirty dishes to accumulate in the sink and remain there overnight.
Keep food scraps in the refrigerator or in containers with tight-fitting lids.
Periodically check and clean the evaporation pan under the refrigerator or freezer.

RODENTS

RATS

A rat is larger than a mouse and can weigh up to 0.5 kilograms (1 pound).
Rat bites and scratches can result in disease and rat-bite fever
Humans can also get sick through contaminated food caused by rats running across countertops where food is later prepared

MICE

Mice are likely to store food in their nest or burrow and are considered omnivores.
Some of the problems mice can cause include damaging walls, chewing wiring and furniture
They can introduce parasites and transmit diseases that can be potentially serious

The EPA suggests:

Seal holes inside and outside the home to keep rodents out.
Remove potential rodent nesting sites from your property, including leaf piles and deep mulch.
Clean up food and water sources in and near your house

FLIES

Flies contaminate food, dirty surfaces and spread disease to humans and animals
Flies feed by vomiting on their food source prior to eating
Flies spread bacteria too, contaminating everything that they land on

The EPA suggests:

While adult flies are the most bothersome, the point of greatest IPM control is often the larval stage. By eliminating the habitat preferred by larvae, the fly population can be better managed. This includes removing:
Animal waste.
Garbage.
Decaying plant matter.
Moist environments for egg deposition.

TERMITES

They are known as "silent destroyers" because of their ability to chew through wood, flooring and even wallpaper undetected. Each year, termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage

The EPA suggests:

After construction, keep the soil around the foundation dry through proper grading and drainage (including maintenance of gutters and downspouts).
Reduce openings that offer termites access to the structure (filling cracks in cement foundations as well as around where utilities pass through the wall with cement, grout, or caulk).
Fix leaks immediately.
Keep vents free from blockage, including plants.
Ensure that trees and shrubs are not planted too close to the structure and do not allow them to grow against exposed wood surfaces.
Do not pile or store firewood or wood debris next to the house.

All ants live in colonies and while there are three roles of ant in these colonies, it is likely that you will only ever see two kinds: the female workers (drones) and the male ants when they spread the nest.

They can contaminate foodstuffs and be an unpleasant ‘infestations’ in homes and many businesses.

Like cockroaches, silverfish can last a long time without food and can be hard to be removed once their colony is established

They eat: tapestries, wallpaper, carpet, fabrics, photos, books, clothing

Silverfish are commonly found in kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and sinks

Pantry pests can invade homes and businesses, and range from beetles to weevils, to even moths.

They all share one thing in common, a predilection for grain foods.

Products that can be infected will include: flours, cereal, dry pasta, dry pet food, powdered milk, crackers, spices, bread, bird seed, dried nuts and more.

Mosquitoes cause irritation and promote the spread of diseases

Typically mosquitoes will be attracted to warmth, dampness or moisture and an elevated level of carbon dioxide in the air.
