⭐ Features

Bed bugs possess a distinctive ability to survive for months without feeding, relying on stored energy. They emit pheromones for communication and aggregation, which can result in a characteristic musty odor in infested areas. Bed bugs are also known for their resistance to many common insecticides, making eradication challenging. Their bites often cause itchy, clustered welts on human skin, and they exhibit a strong tendency to hide in tiny crevices during the day, emerging at night to feed. Additionally, bed bugs can detect body heat and carbon dioxide, which helps them locate hosts.

📍 Habitat

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

⭐ 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, and their rapid, unpredictable movements help evade predators. Cockroaches can regenerate lost body parts and have a unique reproductive strategy, with some species capable of producing offspring without mating. Their digestive systems allow them to consume a wide variety of organic materials, including substances toxic to many other organisms.

📍 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 storage areas with clutter. They also hide in cracks, crevices, and behind wallpaper or baseboards.

⭐ Features

Termites exhibit a highly organized social structure with distinct castes, including workers, soldiers, and reproductives, each performing specialized roles. They communicate using pheromones and vibrations, enabling complex colony coordination. Termites are among the few animals capable of digesting cellulose, thanks to symbiotic microorganisms in their guts. Their ability to construct intricate nests and mounds with regulated temperature and humidity demonstrates advanced collective engineering. Termites play a crucial ecological role by recycling dead plant material, enriching soil fertility.

📍 Habitat

The most common areas where you can find termites include: - Wooden structures and framing in homes - Basements and crawl spaces with moisture - Wooden furniture and flooring - Tree stumps, logs, and dead trees near buildings - Mulch and wood piles close to foundations - Cracks in foundations and walls - Attics with exposed wood - Around leaking pipes or areas with water damage

⭐  Features

Carpenter beetles are notable for their ability to bore into wood, creating intricate tunnel systems. They possess strong mandibles adapted for chewing through tough plant material, especially dead or decaying wood. Their larvae are wood-borers, playing a significant role in the decomposition process and nutrient cycling within forest ecosystems. Carpenter beetles can produce audible sounds, such as clicking or tapping, as they move or feed within wood. Some species emit defensive chemicals to deter predators. Their life cycle is closely tied to the condition of the wood, often requiring several years to complete development.

📍 Habitat

Carpenter beetles are most commonly found in areas with abundant dead or decaying wood, such as forests, woodpiles, old tree stumps, fallen logs, and wooden structures like barns, fences, and houses. Indoors, they may be found in attics, basements, or crawl spaces where wood is damp or untreated. They are attracted to moist, rotting, or fungus-infested wood, which provides ideal conditions for their larvae to tunnel and feed.
