⭐ Features

Cockroaches possess remarkable resilience, able to survive without food for weeks and withstand high levels of radiation. They have highly sensitive antennae for detecting chemical signals and vibrations. Their rapid reproductive cycle enables quick population growth. Cockroaches also exhibit social behaviors, such as group decision-making and sharing information about food sources through chemical trails. Their ability to regenerate lost body parts and adapt to various environmental stresses makes them exceptionally hardy insects.

📍 Habitat

Cockroaches are most commonly found in warm, humid areas with access to food and water. Typical locations include kitchens (under sinks, behind appliances, inside cabinets), bathrooms (under sinks, around drains), basements, laundry rooms, and garbage storage areas. They also hide in cracks, crevices, and behind wall paneling or wallpaper.

⭐ Features

Bed bugs possess a specialized mouthpart designed for piercing skin and feeding on blood. They release anticoagulant and anesthetic compounds in their saliva to facilitate feeding without immediate detection. Bed bugs can survive for several months without a blood meal by entering a semi-dormant state. They exhibit cryptic behavior, hiding in tiny crevices during the day and emerging at night to feed. Bed bugs also communicate and aggregate using pheromones, which help them find each other and suitable hiding spots. Their resistance to many common insecticides makes them particularly challenging to control.

📍 Habitat

The most common areas where you can find bed bugs include mattresses and box springs (especially in seams and crevices), bed frames and headboards, cracks and crevices in walls or floors, upholstered furniture, behind baseboards, inside electrical outlets and light switches, behind picture frames and wall hangings, and in luggage or clothing after travel. Bed bugs prefer areas close to where people sleep or rest.

⭐ Features

Termites have a highly organized social structure with distinct castes, including workers, soldiers, and reproductives, each performing specialized roles. They cultivate symbiotic relationships with gut microorganisms, enabling them to digest cellulose from wood and plant material. Termites communicate using pheromones and vibrations, coordinating complex colony activities. Some species build intricate mounds with natural ventilation systems that regulate temperature and humidity. Their ability to recycle dead plant material plays a crucial role in nutrient cycling within ecosystems.

📍 Habitat

Termites are most commonly found in warm, humid climates. They are often found in: 1. Wooden structures (homes, sheds, fences) 2. Dead trees and stumps 3. Mulch and woodpiles near buildings 4. Soil around foundations 5. Crawl spaces and basements 6. Attics with wood framing 7. Moist areas with poor drainage They are especially prevalent in the southern United States, tropical, and subtropical regions.

⭐  Features

Silverfish possess a distinctive, rapid, wriggling movement that resembles the motion of a fish. They are known for their ability to survive long periods without food and can digest cellulose, allowing them to feed on paper, glue, and textiles. Silverfish are nocturnal and highly secretive, often avoiding light. They have a remarkable ability to squeeze into tiny crevices and cracks, making them difficult to detect and control. Additionally, they undergo a unique form of development called ametabolous metamorphosis, meaning they do not undergo significant changes in form as they mature.

📍 Habitat

Silverfish are most commonly found in damp, dark, and humid areas such as bathrooms, basements, kitchens, laundry rooms, attics, and storage areas. They often hide in cracks, crevices, behind baseboards, under sinks, and inside cupboards or bookshelves. Silverfish are attracted to paper, glue, and starchy materials, so they may also be found near books, cardboard boxes, wallpaper, and old clothing.
