⭐ 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 rapid reflexes that enable quick escape from threats. Their ability to digest a wide range of organic materials, including cellulose, is aided by symbiotic gut bacteria. Cockroaches also exhibit social behaviors, such as group decision-making and aggregation, facilitated by pheromone communication. Their reproductive strategies include producing protective egg cases (oothecae) that enhance offspring survival.

📍 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

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 months without a blood meal, entering a semi-dormant state. They emit pheromones for communication and aggregation. Their eggs are coated with a sticky substance, allowing them to adhere to surfaces. Bed bugs exhibit cryptic behavior, hiding in narrow crevices and emerging mainly at night to feed. They also display resistance to many common insecticides, making them challenging to control.

📍 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. Bed bugs prefer locations close to where people sleep or rest.

⭐ 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 coordination within colonies. 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 also play a crucial ecological role by recycling dead plant material and enriching soil fertility.

📍 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. Crawl spaces and basements with moisture 5. Soil near foundations 6. Attics with wood framing 7. Areas with water leaks or 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, avoiding light and remaining active mostly at night. They have a high tolerance for a wide range of environmental conditions and can live for several years, molting throughout their lives, even after reaching maturity.

📍 Habitat

Silverfish are most commonly found in damp, dark, and humid areas such as bathrooms, basements, kitchens, laundry rooms, attics, and under sinks. They often hide in cracks, behind baseboards, inside cupboards, and within stacks of paper, books, or cardboard.
